The one autometer makes will suffice for autometer gauges....they make two sizes (last time i checked) 2 1/6 and 2 5/8....just make sure the gauge size matches the pillar holes, and your set!

btw which gauges you getting?

The autometer A/F isn't very exact, you'd be better off with a TechEdge or FJO wideband, but they're a lot more expensive. Go with oil pressure and fuel pressure.

Definetly the fuel psi and the oil psi. The a/r gauge like others said would be better off being a wideband one (FJO, TechEdge, etc). Make sure the fuel pressure gauge is an electric gauge with the fuel isolator. Fuel psi capillary tubes running in the passengers compartment is very unsafe for daily driving.

IMO, something you may want to consider. Those carbon series Autometers are cool looking but I really have a hard time reading them at a glance. Just something to keep in mind. Good luck with your project

True, espescially on a bright day, as for the best price try to find some on ebay.
