hey, did you ever get an answer for your question? I am in the process of changing the stock guages for defi 60mm ones. They certainly don't fit in the stock pods. I am wondering what type of modifications have to be done in order for defi guages to fit within the pods.

cheers

Well I wanted to replace just the two gauges as well and keep the computer gauge. Unfortunately all three are connected and all must be removed. As for fitment on the 60mm, I believe there are several people that have done it and it and I don't think they had to dremel. I have three 52mm gauges and had to mount them in front. Difficulty, after you remove the dash it is pretty simple, just unplug the gauges, its one white plug, and unscrew them from the dash. Hope this helps.

To fit 60mm gauges in the stock location, you simply need to remove the silver rings that are in the stock area. They are only glued in so you can remove them easily by hand.

After that you simply push the 60mm gauges in and you are done.
