Gauge size??

Hi,

Could anyone possibly confirm the exact size of the gauges needed to go in a 52 3100 pick up??

Thanks in advance!

5"

Most gauge kits are 4-3/4with some sort of adaptor

Re: Gauge size??

Thanks for the quick response guys.

Yes that's what i thought-thought I was going crazy as struggling to find 5" set. Can anyone recommend a good place to buy a stand alone adapter/insert?? I have found some nice 4.3/4 gauges (with a specific gps speedo which has been Hard to find!) but the company do not do the adapters to make it fit in??

I just got a set of new vintage on order today, You don't have to stick with just the Woodward classic looking gauges from them, I got the 1969 series with the 47-53 bracket kit.

when you order tell them you need the 47-53 brackets. They fit any of their 4-3/8 gauges and make them 5" as far as I know
