Hello List,

Talking about guages ..... help .......... 

In my BJ8 restoration, I am not planning to have a radio, and plan to
just use a blanker.  Then I plan to insert two extra guages in the
speaker console. Probem is that std after market guages have a diameter
2 inch diameter that is just too big to fit into the speaker grill
without touching the grill - which looks unacceptable. 

So my question to the list is does anyone know of after market guages
that are 1 3/4 inch diameter or less and have a chrome bezel?  I am
intending to put a clock and a voltmeter in the grill space, and leave
at least 1/8 inch space betweem the chrome grill surround and the guage
bezel for appearance.

Any help appreciated on after maket guages of the smaller size .....

Robert.
