Provide The Perfect Home for Your Vehicle’s Instrumentation

As classic trucks, hot rods, and custom builds pass down from owner to owner, each one tends to add their own touch to the vehicle. Sometimes that “touch” doesn’t age very well or wasn’t installed in the most correct of manners. We see this a lot with vehicle instrumentation. Gauge styles, sizes, and mounting locations can be a very personal thing and what one owner or builder has used may not be exactly what the next owner had in mind. The good thing is that this is rarely a deal breaker, as there are literally hundreds of instrument designs out there to go with what you may have in mind for your dash updates.

Often, however, the old gauges were direct mounted into the flat fiberglass or steel dash assembly and now there are some holes that may no longer be sized for the gauges you are planning. A dash insert is a great way to cover up these old holes and securely mount your new gauges. Obviously, a dash insert can be used on a new build as well. So, if you’re planning out your gauge location and mounting considerations on that brand new flat dash you just installed, a dash insert, such as our 6061-T6 aluminum 6-gauge insert with billet trim ring is the perfect solution.

Supports Mounting Popular Six-Gauge Instrument Packages

We all know factory instruments leave a lot on the table. Most are rudimentary at best, or after decades of service may not even work properly anymore. Of course, many vehicles are saddled with the most basic “idiot light” setups too for oil pressure and even temperature! That just won’t fly for monitoring that expensive crate engine you just dropped onto the frame rails. So, when it comes time to put some quality instruments in your dash to monitor your engine’s vitals the most popular setups are the six gauge instrument kits with speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure, water temperature, fuel level, and volts.

Our aluminum instrument panel features an easy to scan gauge layout with speedometer and tachometer instruments centered and flanked by two auxiliary gauges on each side. The aluminum dash panel is designed to fit popular 3-3/8-inch speedometers and tachometers, while the auxiliary gauge holes are sized for the smaller 2-1/16-inch sized gauges. Additionally, the gauge mounting panel is pre-drilled for 5/32-inch (.177-inch) LED indicators for high beam (typically blue or red) and turn signal (typically green). If you prefer a larger indicator, you can simply use a step drill bit to slightly enlarge the holes to us larger 1/4-inch LED or 5/16-inch LED indicators as desired.

Our Billet Trim Ring Doubles as A Mounting Solution

At just .090-inch thick (.063-inch for engine turned version), our 6-gauge insert panel can easily be mounted directly to your dash structure using the included highly polished 3/8-inch thick billet trim ring that features a routed inner lip to retain your gauge mounting panel and eight 10-32 studs with zinc plated jam nuts to secure the bezel to your dash after creating the mating instrument openings in your dash material. You can utilize your gauge’s retaining brackets in most installations to clamp the gauge mounting panel into place as a secondary mounting solution as well for additional security.

The 6-gauge aluminum dash panel measures 19-3/8-inches long and 5-5/8 inches tall at its peak of the polished trim bezel, which can be mounted facing up or down depending on your dash’s shape. Available in a matte black wrinkle finish, fully polished, or a classic engine turned dash look, these 6-gauge panels will work with any interior design you have in mind and will look amazing with the polished billet bezel. Our engine turned dash version even matches our line of engine turned aluminum panels, allowing you to add matching interior accents to your door panels, consoles, or other interior bits. So, what are you waiting for? Find the perfect gauges for your ride, grab one of our 6-gauge insert panels with polished billet bezel and get to work. Your next ride will be one of confidence knowing you have a handle on exactly what’s going on under the hood of your ride.
