Shallow Gauges to Mount in Stock Location?

[benk777]

I am in need of some shallow gauges to replace my boost, oil pressure, and water temp gauges in the stock locations, behind the dash glass. I originally ordered some Autometer Z series gauges but my mechanic has informed me that they are too deep. Can anyone recommend some shallow gauges that will fit in those locations?

Thanks.

Funny, I picked up the same autometer boost gauge myself, and mounted it in the stock location. Took a bit of work with a dremel and a glue gun, but it wasn't that tough.

the prosport premium gauges are only ~1" deep. they are more expensive than the autometer z series tho.

Those are the exact same gauges I put in the stock locations.
Here, print these pics out and show them to your "mechanic" and tell him he is a dumb ass.

Def go with prosport 60mm premium. They are more expencive but damn it was easy to make it fit. I got one non premium and it was hell getting that thing in there.

I loved my Defi gauges, I would rather have Defi gauges then any other Gauge on the planet.

it's a snap I did it on some prosports just to see If could. It's easy

 

[Prosport Gauges]

Also now have 45mm gauges that are clear lens and only 1" deep...

Still waiting for the clear lense series in different color backlights (like green)

Yeah I did with some speehut gauges like others have said it just takes a little time and some trimming of the cluster to fit them.

Well, in defense of my man Keith, he is far from a dumbass. I did order the Prosport Premiums though, since they are only 1.25" deep. I'll post pics in my build thread when all is said and done. I'm sure you'll think differently of Keith at that time.
