I got a 3 1/8 in Autometer tach for Christmas:hurray:. I would like to mount it under the dash, but can't find a black gauge panel for it. Largest one I can find is 2 5/8. Anyone know of somewhere I could find one?

you can play with a paper cup, and fiberglass and make a very good custom look that no one else has and you can shape file it to fit where you want and paint to match and it will look very factory and not some bold on thing. made a whole dash panel that was years ago. covered my in vinyl to match dash. cheap and about a weekend. :yes:

I think 3 1/8" is ment to be mounted in a dash of a hotrod or boat. The cups I've seen are 3 3/8" or larger and the mount below the dash plates stop at 2 5/8". I'd start with a 4" sq of 1/2" alum and fabricate something. Mikes idea is good too...

If I had this problem, here is the way I would attack it. I would find a piece of metal, in the thickiness that I liked. I would the take the metal and put it between 2 pieces of 2X4s place in a vice and bend. Use a good dead blow hammer. trim and fit and drill under dash holes to the way i liked for under dash appll. Tilt as needed. the take a whole saw and cut the final whole. Prime N paint to color. All of the tools can be bought at Lowes and done pretty cheap.

Thanks guys, that solves my problem. I think i will go with metal (like my other gauges). But i do like Mike's idea, sounds slick.
