Need help from a Convertible owner with a factory "open meter" in their car.
I'm hoping a fellow NAM'r can take a few moments to help me out.
I'm looking for a measurement and wondering if someone on here can help me out with an accurate measurement.
On the Cabro with the open meter... I'm looking for the measurement of the cabrio-meter opening and the tach opening where the bezel meets the glass.

Looks like the tach is the same dimension as the single one in the R56's.
I would imagine that the internals from the R56, tach only, will switch over to this housing.... Leaving me room for an aftermarket 60mm gauge....Like an OBD2 multi gauge or a speedhut 60mm OBD2 speedometer (the center speedo is useless for me other than for fun for passengers)... and the small digital one in the tach.. well, I have to put on my readers to see it
This guide makes opening it up look pretty easy.
