Hi guys
My Autometer gages just arrived ( in jig time too from Tristate)
I will be tackling the aluminum dash blank.

1)What size hole saws to use for a 2 inch and 4 inch gage and allowing for the dash covering to come thru as well?? Any tips on cutting these holes...new holesaws??

2) What OD size are the more correct indicator lamps....

3) I want a fairly correct placement of dash components and have an excellent 427 S/C layout.....for the components I won't be using what should I do...IE I have no heater therefore need no blower switch/knob, I do not plan on the alt. warning lamp. one less indicator lamp....I don't have the washer pump (another knob) but I do have the wipers..Horn switch will be in the wheel not on dash. No fuel pump switch mine is mechanical
that sort of thing... Should I skip them in the the dash??

So what I am asking is should I install a somewhat condensed version of the original dash...would that still be good or install all the proper layout even though some stuff would have no real use.

5 of 12 switches/knobs/lamps are to going to be used in my car
a,b,f,g, and i. all N/A

Sounds very dumb to ask, but I am asking..lol

Thanks
Tim
