Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Gauge Install Question

[HookMeUp]

I am in the process of installing a set of gauges. I am using the overhead gauge mount, I have the isspro EGT & Boost. The diameter of the gauges are smaller than the hole in the mount(I can't use the hold downs because thy won't fix inside the mount), how is everyone else getting these to stay put? Also I will need to relocate the rear view mirror, how did anyone accomplish this?

I didn't use the gauge hold downs. I just fitted the gauge to the hole with a very snug fit. Works just fine.

My gauges are smaller than the holes in the mount. What did you use to build up the gauge to fit snuggly in the holes?

How much too small? Would a couple of raps of electrical tape behind the bezel do the trick?

I was just going to say the same thing. We did that on my son's truck and it worked out just fine.

I will give that try. What about relocating the rearview mirror?

Electrical tape worked on my ISSPro's in my autometer A-Pillar mount... They must be just a tad bit smaller than the autometer gauges... The autometers I put in another truck fit perfect...

If the Ele. tape is too thick, try masking tape. Not sure where you purchased your ISSPROs from, but there are some questions that you may have when mounting them in the windshield mount.

As it turns out I bought these from you. So since the gauge diameter is too small I will need to build it up with some tape. Is this correct?
