Mechanical Guages

[Rebelpride]

I have been thinking lately of replacing the guages in a deuce to all mechanical. Are the bulbs in the stock guages 24 volts? And are the holes in the guage panel a common size? Dont really have a good reason just think it would be nice if the guages could work if the acces. switch was off.

The bulbs are in the dash behind the caps (like the high beam indicator). There are slots in the guage with clear plastic to let the light in. the caps are also what make the light red. I cant remember the guage size right now.

Anybody know the hole size for the stock guages

I just measured a gauge that was in the parts bin. The smaller gauges (oil, air, fuel, batt) are 2 1/16 outside diameter on the body of the guage. The bezel ring is 2 1/4" o.d..

The hole in the dash panel is 2 3/32".
