It all depends on the size of your gague your getting.

Check out [Autometer.com](http://Autometer.com) for Gague Sizes.

Here maybe this will be more clear!! im looking for the “??” dimension for the 2 1/16" gauge.

hm If “A” = 2 5/16" then “??” is 2 1/16" ?? right??

Acording to my Oil PSI Gauge I have in my hand yes.

If you plan to make a custom pod, make the hole a little less  
than 2" and then slowly sand/bore it out to fit your gauge perfectly

Ok, just make hte pod with no holes, when you get your gauge measure it and drill out the hole 1/16" smaller diameter than the gauge and shove it in there.
