Mike,
Ah, yes, I just have to chime in again and say that Mike is the man for telling me the part number to get my speakers working again after taking out the Bose deck, thanks again man. Apparently the part is backorded, so it will be a week or two before I get the part, when I do, I'll mount everything up and post some pics .

Ahhh,
Finally got the gauges mounted up right with the SAAB panel. I was waiting on a tiny obscure part for the radio and didn't want to mount them until that came in to save me the trouble of removing everything again to get to the radio. I made a little writeup on my website:

This is THE way to go if you want 3 52mm gauges in the DIN slot. With just a little trimming here and there with a file, the fit was PERFECT and VERY secure, the clips engaged perfectly. Good stuff.

Good **** man. I'm still waaaaay behind on this project due to some delays with my column mount boost gauge (well, not the gauge, but whatever). I will be going with Defi gauges in the DIN panel when I get it, so my question is:
How far out do the bezels of those VDO gauges stick? The bezel for the Defi gauges is like .25", which seems like a lot. I'm going to think about trying to recess this a bit if it seems like too much.

Although not visible in that photo, the SAAB panel actually sets the guages quite far back behind the radio, so a thick bezel would be no problem at all. I'd say the panel is 3/8" back behind the radio, and the bezels on the VDO gauges are 3/16".

As you can see in the pic of my 2nd gen's interior, my stereo has an odd setup. Below it is the useless space (I guess meant for holding paper or something, it doesn't even fit a pair of sunglasses) that looks to be about a 1/2 din height, and then there's a filler panel above the stereo that I think is less then a din as well. Has anyone tried mounting the Saab panel in their second gen? Pics?
