ok here is my guage cluster including my lean rich and oil pressure. my problem is i cant see my tem and fuel guage, what is the best thing to do ? i dont want to cut the pillar, i was thinking to cut the pod, and patch it up with some form of fiber glass but that would take away from the " stock " look or should i just take them out.

here is the pic

What i did is use the cruise control button location and the dimmer dial location for my gauges. that way, the OE cluster is unobstructed.

isnt that gonna be a lil weird when you grip the wheel?

only when turning hard. when going straight, i can see both of them through the "webbing" of the steering wheel.

The issue you're having is due to the fact that your gauge cluster bezel is a knock-off brand...if you really want your gauges there and want to see your temp and fuel needles, you'll have to spring for an Autometer one...they're more expensive, but they're designed to allow you to still be able to see your gauge cluster fully.

Now when you use the cruise control and dimmer locations, did you have to drill the holes in the dash slightly bigger? or did it just fall in place (nice and snug)?

If it did fit without making the whole bigger, what size gauge did you use?

 

[TurboLS]

I used a 2" hole saw and the 2 1/16" gauge fit snug inside it w/o the bracket.

You can see pics in my build thread.

is that an OBX cluster bezel?
I think they have had issues with the viewing of the stock cluster.
Don't know if the autometer one is different.

I have an autometer bezel for sale, it will solve your problem because it's molded precisely.
