Does anybody know of an adapter for a 1 3/4" gauge to a 2 1/16" hole? I have a nice voltage gauge that gives me readings of both batteries at a glance but it is 1 3/4". If I could get an adapter I would do a 3 pod pillar.
A small chunk of textured abs plastic (so small a local car stereo shop would near give you that scrap) - drill to fit your gauge, then leave a shoulder big enough to keep it from falling back through the 2 1/16" hole, then mount as you would normally, maybe bend out the arms if it's a "U" bracket a little to make sure it's biting the guage pod. If you're feeling especially fancy, put a 45* on the outer shoulder that's exposed & it'll look like it was meant to be that way.
Sounds like a near free / just a few buck fix by me. -GL Tony!
