wacked1 - August 3rd, 2004 at 02:26 PM

Here is the instrument panel it has a autometer tacho in it i wanted to set up the dash with autometer gauges but there is no space on the standard instrument panel, where should i put the extra gauges.
is there anyone out there who has pictures of their install.
Thanks

some people say its sacreligious to hack a good dash but if its got a few scratches or the paints a bit dull, go hard! here are some ideas in an old thread.

great looking rpm! i use the same layout as phil74's pic above. looks pretty good, especially with the smoothed dash i'm doing.

If this pic works. you can see where it is (this is how i bought it). but i would recomend you put it closer to the driver cos if i want to check it i have to lean right across.

what about here, also looking into autometer fuel gauge if i can get the correct ohms mine reads 73.5 empty and 82 full does this seem right?

that looks great...

the dual gauges... in the centre under the dash would have been better between the dash & steering column...

Nice gauge pods on ebay at times....
