I'm going throught the same ordeal....
I bought 5" tach and speedo and 2 1/16 oil pressure, water temp, gas level....the three little ones fit and look nice being held behind the plastic(one at a time)...but the trim rings will hit each other....and you still need to mount them....
The speedo and tach will fit inside or outside(with a little modding)
I decided to make an aluminum plate myself...
You can buy either a mechanical or electric speedo...
