Hi Casey,
If your sending unit actually fits in the stock hole, please tell me
how! I have a VDO set of Series I gauges in my '48, and there was no way
the sending unit would fit. We're going to pull the tank, steam it out,
and weld in a new piece of metal to put the sending unit into.
As for mounting your gauges, check my website out. There is a pic of my
gauges, mounted in the original '48 bezels, and all 4 of the small ones
fit, although tightly. I can give you the details on how I did it if
you'd like. BTW...in the final version the two sides are reversed from
what you see in the pic. Speedo is now on the right. With all the wires
and stuff they wouldn't fit the way I had first tried it.
