Bracket Kit for 2-1/16 Gauges

The AutoMeter Bracket Kit for 2-1/16 Gauges (model 2230) is a professional-grade mounting solution designed to simplify the installation of 2-1/16-inch diameter gauges in vehicles, marine vessels, and motorsports applications. This three-piece bracket set provides secure, repeatable positioning for engine monitoring instruments, enabling drivers to maintain clear visibility of critical performance data during operation.

Constructed from durable black plastic, these brackets are engineered to hold 2-1/16-inch round gauges in fixed positions within dashboard openings or custom gauge pods. The molded design accommodates standard AutoMeter gauge bezels and accounts for the rigorous vibration and thermal cycling common to high-performance engine bays. The plastic material resists corrosion from moisture and salt exposure while remaining lightweight—at 0.18 lbs for the complete set, the kit adds negligible mass to any installation. The bracket geometry accommodates multiple mounting angles, allowing installers to optimize sightlines for both driver position and gauge cluster layout.

This bracket kit serves enthusiasts building custom gauge clusters for street vehicles, off-road trucks, marine applications, and racing programs where factory gauge configurations are inadequate. Whether monitoring oil pressure, water temperature, fuel pressure, or transmission temperature, proper gauge mounting prevents instrument movement during acceleration, braking, and cornering—preserving reading accuracy when those parameters matter most. The multi-piece design accommodates staggered or clustered gauge arrangements in confined spaces.

AutoMeter remains the industry standard for aftermarket engine instrumentation, and their accessory ecosystem—including mounting hardware—reflects decades of real-world feedback from professional builders and weekend enthusiasts. This bracket kit is a straightforward, cost-effective foundation for any 2-1/16-inch gauge installation requiring mechanical security and repeatable positioning.
