Moon made a panel with a flat flange on top that held a large in the middle and two smaller on each side. They may have had a similar panel with two large in the center for six in a row.
Stewart-Warner "Hollywood" with original restored Wings gauges & a so called "Classic" or "Navigator". Had planned to use the "Hollywood" in my '34 roadster but just couldn't bring myself to cut that perfect original dash.
Would you happen to have a spare winged "fuel level "gauge that you would sell? Thanks John email [email protected]
O'Brien Truckers make a five hole gauge under dash panel; they also have a neat Champion Gauge Panels. Look at www.obrientruckers.com. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
In my opinion a "real car" needs a minimum of 5 gauges. Speedometer, gas, oil, temp and ammeter. I wouldn't expect 5 under the dash since most are already in the instrument panel. After that maybe a tachometer, vacuum and a couple of extra temperature gauges but they are just frosting on the cake. Charlie Stephens
Sorry - just the one in the panel. I will sell the whole panel, plus the tach drive Mallory distributor that I had Bubba convert for a flathead.
I've got a 4 hole panel from back in the day but have not run across the 5 panel some are talking abuout
Alchemy I agree 100%, you just can't beat an old catalog for the gee I don't remember that value. In answer to the original question I am a '60s kid pretty much and for an over the counter ancillary gauge panel I don't remember seeing anything more then 4 gauges. Normally on the street what you saw were 1 single or a triple. I used to like a pair of doubles, they were easy to find on the rack at the parts counter because no one ran doubles around where I lived and I could run a pair of gauges on wither side of my column, but I have been informed that I am not normal.
You guys rule. I have a whole mess of blue gauges I want to run and not enough room! I need to find a way to run 7..
Dreddy, have you considered putting the gauges in the header panel above the windsheild? This is a bad example, but shows you what I mean. Norwell did the same on his Diamond Deuce pick up
kick panels, trans tunnel, trunk, header panel, back of the cab going into trunk, door panels....didnt you start that funky places thread a while back?
I have, And I think it's awesome but I don't think my particular setup lends itself to this method very well. Jeff's pickup is one of my faves! Oh they will be going in those places too!
Well buddy you know as well as I do that it ain't no real hot rod unless it has gauges on the firewall.
