Default Re: Stewart Warner 2 5/8" Gauges Questions

If you want the panel shown in the Nova that follows the contour of the gauges, that is a Sun panel. The Stewart Warner gauges will fit in the panel with no problems. They are pretty hard find find as just the bracket. They are usually loaded with Sun Blue or Green line gauges.

I was digging through gauge parts for another member and saw this bracket. I remembered someone looking for one and was able to find this thread. I actually have two of them. Both appear to be NOS with night shelf wear. Let me know if you are still looking for one.


Thanks,

Jason

Here's some that I have.
The black one has been powder coated. I have 3 of these.
The others are Eelco. Look up Eelco gauge on eBay and you will see quite a few.
One of mine has the holes opened up to fit 2 5/8 gauges. The holes still need to be opened a little more to fit 4 Sun gauges nicely.
I set 4 gauges in to show how it can look.
I don't like that some have little holes for lights of your choosing.
Back in the day, some were used to illuminate the gauges that did not have lighting in the gauge. You'll see that on eBay.
It will take some work and careful measuring to open up the others to fit 2 5/8" gauges !!!
