Test Fit Craig Hardy + New Gauges
I'm still waiting for my oil temp gauge to get here but I got my stereo relocation bracket today so I thought I'd throw it on and test fit the panel and the 2 gauges I do have.





Had to do a bit of work to get the 60mm gauges to fit depth wise, had to cut out some plastic bits but all and all it fits really nice and looks awesome, to me at least. What do you guys think?

The fitting at the top doesn't fit very well on mine either..and it is a pain in the *** to mount. I'm probably going to have to find a way to get it to stick better at the top..i have a feeling if i go over a big bump the top will pop out but we'll see

Interesting that not only do your gauges face you but the pattern on you shift knob also faces you.!

its funny, my buddies panel was a pain the A** to mount we ended up using ALOT of double sided tape so the top wouldn't pop out.

if you get the lancershop panel it fits perfectly with no issues what so ever, and i think they are the same price.
