Disclaimer: I don't know what their dash insert looks like.
DSE is mighty fond of doing their parts as stampings, and I'd bet that's what you're seeing. If they do the holes individually, they've made their own flaring tool, as I don't think anyone is selling hole flares that big.
By the way, the AutoMeter 5" tach's need a 4 5/8" hole, not 5".

Here is a picture of what the dash looks like. I'm not sure what size of a flare this is but either way I wouldn't mind doing it to mine! That really turned out nice.

Those are either stamped at the time of fabrication of the panel itself or stamped as an option or whatever in a seperate press.
There's ways to do that on your own, but you can count on atleast $300-$500 per hole size for the tooling.
Have you called DSE and asked?-Matt
