Standard size for most auxillary gauges is 52mm diameter.
You can get the gauge panels from ebay.

but stack gauges are 52.4mm

I have got stack gauges and they fit in ok, a bit tight but you cant use the U brackets that come with the gauges, but then again you dont need to as they dont move at all.

I made mine and put my stereo where the ash tray and cigarette lighter was, ill try and add a pic

I used a sheet of black plastic and used a holesaw.

seen someone mount the radio in the little cubby hole under the steering wheel. Would obviously need cutting etc to get it to fit right.
