Default Autometer 2 1/16" Gauges in a Trans am

A popular location to mount gauges in a late model trans am is in the vents. A 2 5/8" gauge fits perfectly in there. However not every style gauge is made in that size. We produce some CNC Billet peices that fit a 2 1/16" gauge into the 2 5/8" hole. Made in the USA using quality material. Each adapter has a durable satin black powder coat finish.

Nice!

It's about time someone came up with these - a leetle pricey though - the single price should be cost for (2) IMO, knowing the cost of aluminum and the fact that it's a simple machined ring.

How about a Christmas Sale - (2) for the price of one?

Yep, but its a small production item currently

We only made a few for a some projects here and then decided to just do a small batch and see what the interest is. Of course if these things start to move we'll do a large batch and I think we could cut a decent chunk out of the cost. It all depends on the interest out there.

I'd definitely be up for (3) if the pricing came down - right now the ring is more than the gage going in it

I understand the production issues though - SpeedInc usually has awesome pricing on most of the items they sell that is lower than anywhere else...

With the current batch I can do (3) at $150 shipped.

*IF* there is a GP thread organized with 25 people that commit to orders, regardless of qty, I believe I can cut the price almost in half.

If we get the word out and get another 15 orders it would go thru. Are there any Pontiac clubs or members in Firehawk / Trans Am clubs that might be able to spread the word?

Machining has started, later today I am getting a wideband gauge in to measure. The wideband gauges have been a hair larger in diameter than standard gauges from Autometer. We are going to try to best accommodate all the gauges out there. Worst case some gauges might need a little help with a dremel tool - but that will be the extreme cases.

If you can try an AEM wideband, that would be great.

Thanks.
