DEFI Gauges + Craighardy Panel owners

Did you have to cut any of the support structure behind the gauge pod to make the gauges + pod fit?

Hmm... I have 52mm and had to use a dremel to cut right support bracket for the stock radio. Didn't cut it off completely, just madea 1/2" cut and bet the bracket to make the oil pressure gauge fit. Otherwise it didn't let me close the panel

Mine fit fine. 60mm Defi BF's. The last one on the right is very tight though.

Another note, the stock radio/climate control panel is held in place with some plastic snap in type fasteners. The climate control is screwed onto the stock panel. Since the CH panel doesn't use these fasteners I found an alternate way to hold it in place.

There are 2 long holes at each end of the climate controls. Use a long screw with washers on the backside to bolt down the climate controls to the dash. The CH panel can then be held in place firmly by screwing it into the climate controls.

HTH.

I had to do the same thing with the D series gauges.

Me to but it was no big deal. I just took a screw driver and a hammer and bent the radio bracket out of the way just a little for the gauge on the far right to fit.
