Autometer Gauges and Installation

I am considering a set of gauges (EGT, trans, boost). I am trying to decide which ones I want. I have decided to go autometer, but unsure of the line. I am thinking C2s. I want them to blend in to the look of the interior as much as possible.

As far as installation goes, how do you get the wires from the engine compartment into the cab? Do you drill a new hole and grommit? If so, what do you use to seal the hole?

Thanks.

I'm going with the GS, they are black/white numbers during the day and glow green at night with a red pointer. These seem to be the closest I have found in Autometer. I think there is already a grommit in the firewall.

Gauges

On my 95 psd I went thru the plate bolted in place of where the clutch master would be mounted. Took the plate off drilled a hole in it remounted it with a grommet in the hole ran the wires then sealed the hole with a little RTV.

I used Autometer Sport Comp gauges because they looked good with my interor, and because of the price. Good luck

Yea there are several holes with grommets already there. I however decided to go through the trouble of drilling a new one, cause I needed to fit a hella lot of wires through it....trust me, its not easy to do.
