Standard to monster size gauges without new dash?
 
Just curious if there is enough room to enlarge the holes on the dash and replace the old size with monster gauges and no bezels?

Have a friend that did this on his 388 hustler. Curious if anyone has done it on a fountain?

I was able to do all the gauges except the Tachs.

Thank you, looks great btw.

Did you use the old dash panel or cut a new one? I noticed the indicators are different

Its just a flat piece of Aluminum, couldn't you just get a piece, and lay out a new one using the old as a template for everything?

Thats a new one from Livorsi. The old one had a lot of wasted space not being utilized.
I went with the stainless steel thinking it would be stronger since we cut a ton of holes in it.

I guess you could, just a lot of cutting. Indicators would be a pain

Thanks

Wanted to avoid that and just open up the old one if possible.

Why did you switch to the enclosed indicators? Did they have trouble cutting for the fountain style?

I wanted the back lit indicators so you can see them at night.
Also the old style rattled.
