2-5/8 Gauge Panel (Two)

The 2-5/8 Gauge Panel (Two) by AutoMeter is a professional-grade instrument cluster solution designed for custom automotive builds, engine conversions, and performance vehicle modifications. As a mechanic or enthusiast fabricating a custom dashboard, you need a reliable mounting surface that accommodates modern gauge clusters without compromising structural integrity or aesthetics. This panel solves that challenge by providing a pre-engineered aluminum foundation sized to accept two standard 2-5/8-inch diameter gauges—the industry standard for mechanical and electrical automotive instrumentation.

Constructed from black anodized aluminum, the 2-5/8 Gauge Panel delivers corrosion resistance and a finished appearance that integrates seamlessly into any custom interior. The anodized finish protects against oxidation and surface degradation—critical when gauges and wiring are exposed to engine compartment heat cycling or salt-air environments. At 5.75 inches wide by 11.55 inches tall and weighing just 0.24 pounds, the panel is lightweight yet rigid enough to support dual gauges without flexing or warping. All necessary mounting hardware is included, allowing immediate installation into custom dash builds, race car setups, or restoration projects where OEM gauge housings are removed or unavailable.

This universal mounting panel is ideal for engine swap projects, track-focused vehicles, and custom hot rods where traditional instrument clusters don't fit or function as intended. Whether you're running a carbureted engine with mechanical oil pressure and water temperature gauges, or a modern EFI setup with electronic readouts, the standardized 2-5/8-inch hole pattern ensures compatibility with virtually all aftermarket AutoMeter gauge options. The included hardware eliminates fabrication delays, and the aluminum construction withstands vibration and thermal cycling without fatigue. Buyers frequently specify this panel in LS engine swaps, vintage truck restorations, and tube-frame race car builds where precision instrument mounting is non-negotiable.
