Ok heres the info that I think everyone would like to know......

1. Is the outside Diameter of the gauges 60mm or is that just the opening needed to mount the gauges? what is the outside diameter?

2. How deep are the BF gauges?

3. Did you need to do any modification to the dash behind the surround to get these to fit.

4. Did you fabricate that mounting plate?

Thanks and they look good, thats what Im gonna do with mine..

ohh and is that an Ipaq i see...?? Datalogging? What software are you using... Thnks..

Thats the big problem the hole is 60mm but the Bezel is closer to 70mm

2. How deep are the BF gauges?

dont have an exact number but their like normal gages approx 60 mm deep

3. Did you need to do any modification to the dash behind the surround to get these to fit.

Yes i had to grind away on the sides and top/bottom of the plastic inside. no biggie its all hidden

4. Did you fabricate that mounting plate?

yes its 0.125 aluminum i'm going to make a new one that will fit a little cleaner. i got greedy and wanted to drive the car

I'm using the MAX-Q Data M125 www.maxqdata.com

Do you guys think the 60mm gauges will look better than the 52?

Im gonna order mine when I get back from vacation, Id love to get 4 52mm gauges in that spot but there would definitley be some cutting going on behind the dash.....And Ive met a guy that is gonna do a mold of the console for me; Itll cost a little money but I think it will look great,
