Very nice indeed. Quite rare to see a Gen 4 GTS. I have a Gen 5 GT and a Gen 4 NA and can reconise the differences. Good job.

They stopped making Link Meter BF metric gauges in March this year which were available in , although I'm not sure if they phased out the sizes or just altogether stopped. The new Advance BF is only available in 60mm, but their line of Racer Gauges are 52mm, but they look shite

Also it's 2 1/16" :mrgreen:
