Question Changing old black square gages to round bezels?

I have the old style black square gages, can the gages be reused with the newer rounded colored bezels? I imagine they just pop out, looking for someone that's already done this.

Thanks!!!

Nope....buy new ones, I'm almost done with mine used white face gauges fron S&S and red bezels from eddie Maine I still need a square bezel for my drive and tab indicators.

How much $$ do you have into the new gages and bezels?

Dyno, did you rearrange your gages for ease of viewing???

I was thinking of keeping the big gages on top where they are, flush mounting my gps on the top left, then running the port gages on the middle row and starboard gages on the bottom row. Both rows in the same sequence starting with fuel, temp, oil, hours. Then the volt and vapor off to the far right. The way they have them, not sure if I care for the setup. Thinking it would be nice to have port and starboard right on top of one another for quick comparison reasons.... Sure is a lot of wiring back there, noticed they used a pretty heavy gage wire as well.

Not Sure anymore....its been a couple year project that just keeps getting pushed back. The S&s gauges are priced right and the bezels are $8-$10 each. I left the gauges in the original locations becouse its way easier than lengthening all the wiring to be moved. I ran into one problem the Lorane depth sounder that came in the boat is way larger than the newer ones so I need to make some kind of a custom bezel to cover the hole.

Don

I'm changing a few things on my dash and I don't need the mount that was used for my Lorane anymore. Your welcome to it if it will work for you. It is on the upper left hand side.
