i need some suggestions as to what size guages to run in a stock 37 ford dash. the holes measure about 4. 1/4" in diameter. are you guys running the 3 3/8" guages with a spacer or resizing the hole to fit a 5" guage. i'm gonna run quads, & just looking for a simple easy solution. pics of yours?? thanks.
