65 R Model gauge sizes?

IIRC the two center gauges are 3" and the 4 small gauges are 1 5/8'. I know Mustangs Plus sells the R instrument panel you could call/email those guys.

Thanks Bill.

Mustangs Plus is where I was looking at the bezel, but there was no mention of gauge sizes, and I didn't think to contact MP about it....

I was thinking of using that bezel, or go with the JME version, which comes complete and runs about $800.00. But funds are a bit limited so when I saw that bezel I thought it might be considerable cheaper and just as effective.

I've been planning on doing the same thing, just waiting for our budget situation to allow "fun money" expenses.

I was thinking these might look good plus they come with green bulb covers which would give you a semi-original look. Auto Meter Street Rod Gauges in Arctic White:

The same gauges in "designer black" don't look too bad either: Then their Phantom gauges aren't bad either: Or the Sport Comps: But, then VDO isn't bad either....

or...

In other words, no I haven't been able to make my mind up. If JME wasn't so outrageous theirs would be a no brainer. I could swear I had heard of someone who put aftermarket gauges into a standard '66 instrument panel but I can't find anything about it. I thought it was in a Mustang Monthly or Mustangs and Fords. IIRC it looked really sweet except that there wasn't room for a tach.

Agreed the JME is WAAAAYYYY out there pricewise, but going from billet stock to finished product complete doesn't come cheap.....and apparently theirs is really good quality and total. A lot depends on how much I want to pay for gauges.... really pricey or a good product that works and is still within range of my credit limits; ) I have considered going with the R model bezel for now, and later sell it to someone when I can afford the JME... IF at that point I am not happy with the R. Otherwise it's ralleypak or dashpod. Personally I'd rather have everything right ahead of me (short of HUD).

Got so much to do to this car.... 3 po>>Have you already picked out which gauges you would use?
