2 1/16 seems to be the norm nowadays with a greater selection. I'm looking for replacements for the Stevens, and I have 2 5/8" holes in the dash. Not a lot tochoose from in the old school style I'm looking for.
What size holes do have in the dash now?

I am looking for a 2 1/16 tachometer, black face/chrome bezel to fit a hole in the dash. VDO a bonus. Any leads/offers appreciated.

I have auto meter gauges. Non marine. They are 2 1/16 and 3/18.

I put them in bezels. I had to make my bezel for the tach. No one had one to fit it. It was too small for the other tach bezels.

I just put new Auto Meter marine silver gauges in mine. 2 1/16 and they look small. I wish i would have cut the holes bigger and used 2 5/8.

I like the 2 1/16

Here's what I'll be going with. It's the closest to the old black face I could find in a 2 5/8". Autometer makes some 2 5/8", but the styles just don't work on a 69. Find the gauges you want before you open the holes up!

Mine are 2 1/16, and as mine were acting up last year, I decided to go digital. The red LED's go well with my red dash and they are set in a solid black gauge screen. Plenty bright and I like the look. Summit digitals. They don't make a tach so I am mixing a bit, but look is the same. Cendyne is the tach I think, 3 5/8 maybe (the comon large size). Been a while since I looked.
