Quick question, does anyone know off the top of their head the nut size for the small nuts that hold the gauges into the dash. I was putting my gauges in today and only came up with 5. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,777 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,777 | Take one of the nuts to a hardware store with you and match it up. It's most likely a 10-32, though.
