#40670, "Gauge bezel not fitting right"


          

Anyone else with the autometer gauge bezel (the 2-gauge thing that sits inside your speedo/tach housing) have problems getting the gauges in all the way? I'm using mechanical VDO EGT and VDO Boost gauges in it, and they both contact the speedo glass. I can't even use the lighting because the lighting plug gets knocked out. The EGT is the worst, it sticks out a good 3/8".

Anyone using gauges besides autometer in their bezel, and do they fit?

I use autometer gauges and bezel. They don't fit right in the holes.
Best bert is to use elictrical tape on the gauges and put them in that way they fit tight and you won't see any white from the guages.

I have autometer gauges in mine and they fit fine, but the little metal posts on the back would hit the glass. I had to cut the metal posts in half and then they fit perfect.

like he said, you might have to cut the screws on the back, but as for white showing, go to a hardware store and go to the plumbing section, get 2in black faucet washers, once on, you wont see any white, and it looks pretty badass
