albundy68 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 had car at pheonix yesterday, they fixed my clunky brakes, yippee! but, had a defi 52mm boost to go in, and it slipped right through the clock hole! i could have swarn the clock hole was 52mm, am i going nuts or something? (and the question is 'what size is the clock hole', not 'am i going nuts', i know the answer to that one...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 It seems to accept 60mm gauges with a tiny bit of persuassion so I would hazard a guess at 59mm Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 but, had a defi 52mm boost to go in, and it slipped right through the clock hole! Same here. I fitted a black plastic sheet behind the dash panel with the correct size hole and fitted the gauge in this. It looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albundy68 Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 she-ite! wonder if theres a rubber ring or anything i can get to make it fit? has anyone managed to fit a 52mm in the clock hole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Wrap a strip or two of sticky Velcro around the circumference of the back of the gauge then slide it in. It should fit snugly then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 where did u get the black plastic? My brother got some from work. Any 3-4 mm black sheet material will do , I made the correct size round hole in it then glued it behind the dash panel. If you need any let me know.
