I have this 32 Roadster and want to keep the gauge insert and the look as original as possible. But I would like to replace the amp meter and the fuel/temp gauge (does not work anymore) with some combined gauges like shown in the picture attached. Can someone tell me what gauges fit the original "holes" and who might be selling such instruments? Thanks for your appreciated help! Peter
Thank you - you are right! I would prefer to leave the holes and put "some" combined instruments in the same size in there. But also a slight enlargement would be ok - I just don't want modern instruments.
Should you be unable to find what your wanting & are reluctant to enlarge the mounting holes, I used the conventional S.W. 2-1/16" instruments with thin pvc tubing spacers cut to fit the lens face diameter which sets the gage back only slightly while providing a good contact surface with no trimming or enlargement required, my original intention was to use clear pvc tubing or drill a series of holes in what I've used to provide additional back lighting. would be glad to send photo's showing details to your phone #.

Finding duplex gauges that size may be difficult. I did enlarge the stock holes for 2-1/16” SW single gauges with a die grinder and rotary file. Good luck!
Try Aviation gauge searches ,, There are many Dual sweep gauge designs, , (Australia ,Europe) I think Classic Instrument have /can make 30s-40s looking $$
Those duplex sweep gauges requiring hole enlargement in the fonti original posting are indeed the preferred choice & not sure if anything has been reproduced in direct fit or as shown, some of the larger grander cars of the day & others such as A.C. stepped up diameters in the ensuing years.
