R34 guages are 52mm. If you get 60mm they will stick out a bit.

Really, hmmmm ............... This is my defi 60mm setup in the stock location,

And for the record the defis pop right into the plastic housing, they actually wedge in and then you need to make some sort of bracket to hold them in. Works a treat.

WOW! first time I have seen that done with the delphi gauges! Very nice!

hey mate just wondering if you had any pics of the bracket that you made up ? if that's the case then i reckon ill just get the saber guages cheaper option

[dori34]

depends how you fit them.

As for a bracket, what I did was actually used wire. The defis fit very snug in the back of the housing, they are press fitted in so what I did was screwed the backing screws in behind the housing and tied wire around the screw and tightened it then strapped the wire across the back of the gauge and connect it to the second screw and tighten that one and continue doing it, it is cheap and effective and nobody is gonna be seeing it anyway. Will try and get some pics to show what I devised. As for getting to the gauges it is pretty simple, just tilt the aircon vents downward so that you can somehow fit your hand in there and just give it a tug. The vents should come out, after that you will see two screw holding the entire gauge assembly, remove those and disconnect the harness and it comes off. Simple job actually.
