where should I mount oil and temp gauge
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.

Mine
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.

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....
