The short answer is - sorta. The openings are about 1 millimeter too large, so the gauge initially just fell right through. What I did was coat the inside of the bezel opening with electrical tape. About 3 layers did the trick. This allowed me to wedge the gauges in there securely in addition to providing some nice shock and vibration dampening. You can't see the tape at all once everything is aligned and secured.

Really! You made me go back and take a second look! Looks really clean like they were meant to be there by design.

Looks great! May I know where did you get them?

I ordered all of them from JEGS, as well as the adapters to get the speedometer working.

More info on the adapters for future reference?

Here's the link to what I needed to make it work. I don't know how or why, but it threaded perfectly to the port on my transmission. You just have to modify the little needle coming from the adapter. You'll know what I'm talking about if you do it. You have to make it mate better with the transmission hole so it spins along with the receptacle port. I used shrink vinyl tubes meant for wire repair.
