Does anyone make gauges that are smaller than the standard 2-1/16"? And that are any good?
I need fuel, water temp, oil press, and voltage.
I have other ideas for workarounds but ehh... Haven't decided.

Does it have to be a round needle type gauge?

define good, bigger gauges are easier to read for me, so bigger = better
the combo gauges are nice for saving space, but they take a big hole to do

Honestly they could probably just be digital. But I don't know if there's anything like that which looks good.

The XJ cluster is too small to fit much. They used tiny gauges from the factory because of that. I plan to install a warning light along with the gauges for both oil pressure and temp, so it's not going to be as critical if they aren't monitored.

figured you had a good reason
