The only way to fit Autometer gauges is to cut into the dash. I have Nexus gauges and they look great BUT you have to be careful when you measure and cut because there isn't much margin for error. I made a template of the gauge pod, traced it onto the dash and cut inside the margins. It's nervous work but the result was great. Just cut a little at a time and dry fit until the pod (with the gauges inserted) pop into the original pod guide holes. Just remember to stay inside the template lines on all sides.
