I ordered a new ammeter for my '49 8N (early) recently since the old one was trashed and was surprised to find that it doesn't fit in the dash hole. The hole seems to be 2" diameter which i think is pretty standard even for later models and other manufacturers. The new ammeter seems to be about 2 and 1/16". Might be 2 and 1/32". I think this one came from Dennis Carpenter.
I'm trying to decide whether to order a different new ammeter or grind out the inside of the dash hole to accept the new one I have.
Interested in opinions or alternatives i haven't thought of. Maybe i can find a way to crimp the body of the new ammeter without damaging its functionality?
