5" tach/speedo in 67-68 Covan's panel?

[streetk14]

Just wondering if you can fit a 5" tach and speedometer in the 67-68 Camaro gauge panel from Covan's Classics. I know you can order the panel without any holes, but am not sure if there is enough room for the gauges. Anybody done or tried this?

I took this at the 2004 Power Tour in Arlington, TX.

I am not trying to be funny but why would you bother when they go right in the stock dash panel?:dunno:

I agree. It looks much better in the stock panel as well.

That's how I have them mounted. I thought maybe they would look better mounted on a flat panel. Maybe not? At first I was looking at using the Covan's panel with the 3 3/8" and 2 1/16" gauges, but decided I really liked my big tach and speedo. I also like the console gauges down there. Makes it look like the cockpit of a fighter jet (or something cool like that :) ). I don't need 10 gauges either. I guess I should keep my stock cluster, but I want to add some turn indicators since I have been without them for some time. Anybody done that? If so, where did you get and mount the lights?

What I did is I ordered some amber 5/32" LED's and I drilled a hole on each side of the cluster to mount them. You can barely notice them! I havent finished my car yet so I dont know how bright they will be but I think they will be bright enough.

Sorry for the huge pic. Also dont pay attention to the mess! ;)

Best of luck!

I am wanting to add the same type gauges to my '68. Is there anything special to mounting these aftermarket gauges in the stock gauge pod? Or do I need to cut and grind? Thanks in advance.
