Dash Inserts

I have a set of VDO Cockpit gauges that I want to install in my 55. The smaller gauges are 2 5/8". Where can I get a Dash Insert that accepts that size? All I can find are inserts for the 2 1/8" gauges.

kmart 4,

Try Haneline. I know they make a dash insert for 56- not sure about 55 or if they offer option fo different gage sizes. Good luck.

Got a dash gauge from Bob's F-100 in Riverside, CA. (909)681-1956 for the VDO Cockpit Royale gauges in my '59. Custom made brushed stainless steel flat plate with cut outs for turn indicators and bright lights.

Have you checked with J and B Microfinish, www.jbmicrofinish.com ? They were the first place to be able to fit six gauges (tach too) in the dash. I know I always chime in with their name but they have the nicest aluminum and stainless steel products out there.
