60mm in Autometer A Pillar pod?

Has anyone done this? I really don't want to put another 'eye sore' somewhere on my dash for my OMORI EGT... I'd prefer to take out the A/F gauge if possible and dremel out the pod.

I thought I saw someone here that had an APEX meter it...

Thanks!

I think the NorCal boost-aholics did it (read Jane and Kevving)

I believe the tomei is 60mm... it's tight but it fits... if it comes with car cardboard cutout in the original packaging, use this as a guide so you don't over dremel.

you can also wait for slickismax to come out with the pre molded pillars.

If your going with Omori gauges...its NOT a tight fit. You will have to use a dremel to make the holes bigger. That what I did & both of my gauges are Omori.Just take your time it will work.

Yup, just Dremel the holes bigger (like SMX) using the metal holder that comes with the packaging (like Confused).

I'll intall the upload software on the desktop and upload the pics tonight for you, Delio.
