Summit offers them at www.summitracing.com. I have the one for the smaller gauge size, eliminating the "have to look around it" problem of the larger sized gauge version.

By typing "52mm in in" into Google, you get the following:

52 millimeters = 2.04724409 in

The links I sent you were for 2 and 1/16th inch pods... Since 1/16th of an inch is .0625", that makes the opening 2.0625".... Therefore, if you have a 52mm gauge, you would have .01525591 of an inch to spare... Most gauges have a rubber band looking thing around them behind the bezel that helps them fit snugly into a 2 1/16" pod.

With some simple research, you could come up with that conclusion, but to answer your question, yes, those pods will work for the gauges you have.

Gauges are typically a piece of cake to install, too.

What are the gauges that you are trying to install? There are different ways to install different ones, depending on what sending units are needed and/or where they tap into the electrical system for different sensors...

I am pretty tied up with stuff going on until the middle of March, but could probably help out around that time. Weekends are about the only time I'll have, as I usually stay quite busy at work (and am out of town a lot during the week).

I've been thinking about it too and I want to get some gauges also but which ones should I get? I'm trying to chose ones that will actually be of some good use....and look cool lol. I want to get a air/fuel but I'm not sure if thats really going to do anything.

Just my .02, but I would get a better water temp gauge, and then either a oil pressure or oil temp gauge to give you a better idea of how the engine is operating/performing. Especailly since the stock gauge isn't that precise.
