Gauges installed in center console

Hi,
Not really a full on 'How to' posting so i decided to post here instead of the DIY folder...

This is where i wanted to install 2 60mm Defi meters and the controller. Pretty tight!

After many measurements, cutting/fitting.....Final template shows it can be done...

Mounting plate made from 3mm hardboard

Completed! Oh ya...buddy of mine converted the LED's on the controller from white to amber to match

Nightshot

You don't have a problem reading the gauges when driving? I think that would cause a problem for me, but you did some good work.

Thanks. The important ones (boost/water temp/oil temp) are easily seen on the dash. The two in the console are oil press/ext temp. I can still see them but more like wait for the warning beep if anything goes wrong
