I would rather have them on the same side.

Wow that looks great ! Nice job!

I would say have it 52MM or 60MM. Just have the customer specify and you cut it out?

What does the back side look like? I am guessing you just ... velcro it to the exsisting surround?

i vote for dont cut the holes out and have us cut em out ourselves...cuz 60mm is too big...my gauges are 2 1/16 autometer cobalts...so if we cut em out ourselves mine will fit...

When youre ready to sell them let me know a price and if its not outlandish, I'll for sure pick one up from you. I really like them. Good job!

Any fitment issues?

I think you should cut the hole to fit the order....

If you just make it a 60MM hole that is generally a more expensive gauge...and well....FC owners ....you know how we are...I am rocking 52MM stuff

...still no price...not even a price estimate!!

make it with 2 1/16 cutout but leave enough surround that the few people who can afford 60mm can cut it out

Rob, switch away from the American POS gauges and pick up ones that are measured in mm so you won't give me a headache trying to convert the sizes!!!! If you need a hook up on Defi gauges then let me know.

Yes, they will fit RHD. Should be ready in 2-3 weeks. Making final molding. Cutting or not cutting the hole, would still make the price the same. So I'll make some in 60mm and some not cut.
