Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have more information on how to mount and use a vacuum gauge? |
|
Yes, here is an excellent write-up from Auto Meter on where to put, and how to use, boost and vacuum gauges.

|
I need an installation guide, can I find one online? |

We have installation guides for VDO, Auto Meter, Classic Instruments and ISSPRO online.

|
Will a 2 inch gauge fit in a 2 1/16 inch mount, or vise-versa |
|
Yes, the mounts and gauges work together, although in rare instances you may need to file out the mount a bit to get a good fit. The Classic Intruments 2 1/8" gauges can also usually be used, although it may take a bit more filing.

|
Do you sell gauges with metric readings? |
|
Several of the gauges on our site have metric readings. Some pressure gauges are in Bars, temperature gauges in Celcius, etc… VDO Cockpit Series, Industrial Black and Industrial Chrome have the best selection of metric gauges.

|
|
Do you sell replacement gauges for my vehicle? I need something that will fit in the place of the original gauge. |
|
We do not have replacement gauges that fit in most original instrument panels. The gauges we sell normally fit in round 2 1/16", 2 5/8", 3 1/8", or 3 3/8", 4 3/4" or 5" holes or mounts. To use these gauges in most stock instrument panels would require you to do significant modifications to your dash.

|
|
Do you sell combination gauges? For example, oil pressure and coolant temperature in one gauge? Or a Speedometer / Tachometer Combination Gauge? |
|
Our gauge series from Classic Instruments offer Dual (Fuel Level / Pressure or Temp / Volt) and Quad cluster gauges. VDO only offers a few combination gauges in the VDO Marine Vanguard Series (12 and 24 volt) which can be used in automotive applications. We have SpeedTach Combinations from Classic Instruments and Cyberdyne. Auto Meter and ISSPRO do not offer combination gauges.
