Default 60mm Gauges+vents=???

What do you guys think it would take to get a 60mm gauge to fit in our vents? It seems as if its just a tad to small. And I am not sure a vent ring would work. If so, it would be a small *** ring.

2 5/8 Gauge = 2.62 And it fits nice and snug
2 1/16 Gauge = 2.06 Needs Vent Rings
60mm Gauge = 2.36 hmmmmmm


EDIT: So looking at a pic of some 60mm Gauges and they have it labeled as 60mm/2.6 How can that be? Or am I just that bad at my math?

I believe someone made them work using rubber fittings in the vent. I actually had the part number for home depot for it, but I just changed phones.

Yeah, that works for the 2 1/16 gauge. I wonder if they have a rubber fitting that would work for the 60mm gauge...damn European made Gauges

I think your math might be off:

2 5/8" = 66.67mm

2 1/16" = 52.39mm

2.36" = 60mm

I have 2 5/8 and they are not super sung. It's going to take a thick bead of silicone to keep them from falling out. You'll definitely need an adapter if you use the 60mm gauges.

ACTUALLY, if you keep the vent ring in, it might not be too bad!

2 5/8" are loose if the vent ring is out.
