Installing in Dash Gauges

I want to transfer (3) 2 1/16 inch gauges into the bottom part of a GXE kit. Those who have the GXE kit, do you know if they will fit with some custom work. Any other ideas would be helpful with installing these gauges in the dash area. Thanks.

Just about anything can fit with some custom work. Those would fit in a triangular patter, assuming you'd be undertaking some FG work.

Right, but would they fit inside the space in the gxe kit underneath the radio unit without modification?

Nope...the slot allows for only about 1&7/8" IIRC

That's an idea. But I like the idea of it in the dash a little better. Also, I think it would be too bright at night right there.

Well, it's totally up to you. If you want to place it anywhere near the center console, you will absolutley have to fiberglass something. If you are not going to go that route, just to a triple gauge pod on the A-Pillar.

I don't mind doing custom work like that. I personally don't have the experience to fiberglass it myself. I will have to find someone in my area. Thanks
