Title: Din slot gauge holder...
Post by: koolance on June 03, 2007, 08:47:25 PM
What have people got? Bought one off ebay for 3 x 52mm but all gauges have a lip round them to let them sit in holders etc and due to this they dont fit in the one I have. Links / pics of what people have would be great. I have 52mm greddy gauges.

mines like that but the middle gauge wont fit, maybe its been bent wrong when being manufactured as my gauges look similar to yours?

Right, the gauges I\'ve got the left and the right one\'s are electrical, the boost gauge in the middle is mechanical, It\'s nowhere near as deep as the other two (in terms of the body of the gauge), so it just about fits in. They are a tight squeeze though.
