Hi all just a quick question I’m assuming some of you may have run into this. I chose the gauges that were offered as the first option, I believe they are the vintage gauges. My issue is this the small gauges fit nicely into the openings on the aluminum dash panel but the tach and speedo both fall through the openings. Are their escutcheon rings that are meant for these to make them fit the oversized openings? Anyone else notice this? And if so what did you use to rectify this difference in sizes? I’m sure I can figure it out but wanted to see what others have come up with.

Sounds like the dash was cut wrong for the gauges you went with.
I'd call Factory Five and put it to them.

According to the FFR parts option page the Speedometer and Tach gauges are 3-3/8” in size for the Daytona. What size are the holes in your dash? No make is mentioned.

You should have received part number 60392 PLATINUM GAUGE PANEL with your kit. It fits the Vintage (Speedhut) gauges without trim rings or whatever. The panel was missing from my kit. One of several part discrepancies. Factory Five supplied when I reported it.

I believe there are different panels depending on gauge selection.

Just checked my gauge openings, they are 3 5/16”. Also checked what parts I have, the gauges are platinum gauges number 33229 and the gauge panel is the platinum panel number 60315. From the number Paul has listed I have the wrong gauge panel apparently.

That happened to me. They replaced it when told so.
