[simpits-tech] Size of real instruments

[John Miguez]

I have a VVI.  The ID of the bezel is 2.75".  That is the glass OD.   I 
also measure a Radar Altimeter.  It is slightly smaller.  It it measured 
2 21/32".  I would go with theVVI as the standard.  Let me know if you 
need anymore measurements.  Also, Mike Powell's bood has measurements of 
different size gauges.
