60Mm Gauges In 2 5/8 Cups?

[arrydjay]

Hey guys,

So I bought some 60mm gauges and I need some cups for them, I did a bit of searching and a few websites list the 2 5/8 autometer cups as also 60mm... Problem is that 2 5/8 is actually a few mm bigger than 60mm so I'm wondering if they will fit.

Anyone ever tried this?

In the same way that 2" NB pipe is 50mm NB pipe in metricated countries, 60mm guages are the same thing as 2 5/8' guages.

bit confuzled but thanks mate sounds like they will fit...

Just for anyone else that happens to do this, the 2 5/8 cups are not a perfect fit for 60mm gauges, the cups are too big and the gauge just floats around in there.

What I did was use some foam and cut it to make a ring around the gauge.. It's not perfect but it holds them tightly and you can't tell it's there...

That doesn't really say so much about the dimensions as it does about different branded products.
