If so how'd you do it?

I wanted to put some 2 1/16" gauges into mine, but it looks like they wont' fit exactly right...maybe I could fab a bracket or something. Anybody have pics or anything?

Here is Jeff's gauges: <a href="http://www.turbotbird.com/pics/birds/JKinside.jpg">Jeff's gauges</a>

Here's the link to the rest of his car: <a href="http://www.turbotbird.com/showroom/jk-88tc.html">Jeff's TC</a>

And yes, they do fit. i've done it as well. But i don't have good pictures. Plus, i am in the middle of changing mine.

Edit: i made the picture a link instead of displaying here, to save those dial-up people.

oh that's exactly how I wanna do it!

I guess I should e-mail him but looks like he fabbed a panel to go across the EQ spot that recesses the gauges behind the panel, right? Time to get to work on that...
