nzer 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2011 I found a website through e30tech, he is selling laser cut gauge panels for e30 on e30tech, r3vlimited and on his website http://www.hi-boost.com/store/. I have bought the 3 hole 2" centre vent gauge panel for $30NZD and i thought people on bs might be interested. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polley 916 Report post Posted February 1, 2011 I've got the 4 hole 2-1/16″. How do you plan on attaching yours? I dont like the idea of glueing it in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He said it is a snug fit and I just have to push it in, ill see when it gets here. lots of other customers are happy with it so im guessing it works well.

polley 916 Report post Posted February 2, 2011 Mine is not a snug fit at all, any sort of acceleration and it would fall out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you specify which gauge panel you purchased? The OBC gauge panel needs to be installed with the brackets that come with the gauges to hold it in place. You open the sides of the brackets a bit to overlap the panel and have it hold onto the A/C control dash part. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hotwire 352 Report post Posted June 7, 2011 ^^^^ Just over 2" Olli. 2.1/16 or 2.1/8 - can't quite recall. 1/16 comes to mind Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HI-BOOST 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2011 ^^^^ Just over 2" Olli. 2.1/16 or 2.1/8 - can't quite recall. 1/16 comes to mind Standard aftermarket gauge size it's 2-1/16" Some companies do make a 2" and other who claim to be 2" it is really a 2-1/16". Either way on a 2-1/16" diameter you can oviously fit a 2" gauge. -Joel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
