Autometer 2 5/8" gauges question.

So I searched all over the place including google. Some say the 2 5/8" gauges fit 60mm pods but 2 5/8" equals to 67mm. WTH!!

Has anyone installed autometer 2 5/8th gauges in a flyrx7 or prosport 60mm gauge pod?

I can't speak to actual, but all sources point to no. Not without dremel work.
2-3/8" = 60mm
2-5/8" will be roughly 8mm Too big...SO dremelling 4mm on all sides...

Alex,

I can speak from experience that 60mm gauges fit the FLYRX7 Pods just fine with the except of PLX Devices 60mm which have a couple of issues related to the size/depth of bezel, not the actual fitment per se.

Yeah but hes not asking if a 60mm fits in theres, hes asking is a 2 5/8 = 68mm will fit. Im with CYD. Not without a good bit of dremeling
