Just be careful with regard to the interior impact laws. Those 3 gauges of Pauls would be borderline illegal.

this applies to cars with airbags though right?

paul.. that looks real nice.. and just like what i want..

Did you get that custom made or what? did it stay on ok? and all strong enough to hold the gauges?

It wasn't too difficult. I didn't do it myself but got a mate who's good with that kinda thing to help me. It was pretty secure, but you did have to be careful when putting the gayges in, that you didn't crack the bog holding the cups in.

From the VIRM....

Additional and substituted items such as instruments, switches, cell-phone installations and navigation equipment

• the instruments and switches are:

– mounted flush with, or protected by, the dashboard surface, or

– fitted forward of the steering wheel, or between the steering wheel and the nearest door, or

– fitted between and forward of the front seats (where no centre seat exists), and within 140 mm either side of the vehicle centreline.

See section 7.7 here...

I saw a v4->6 dash on trademe not long ago for a reasonable price. Why not just do a dash swap? The newer ones are nicer anyways.

yer real sexi!! and can give you on the fly warnings about what ever you like.. det, temps, pressure etc.

pretty pricey though! i found slightly cheaper that what swindog listed

[Swindog]

I did what you did funky trying to find a monitor setup with a windows base to run the serial link full time with gaguges right of the possum link. Ended up being too expensive to do and link showed me the link monitor...very cool and works with all of them so you could trans to another car.

One day ill get one. One day.

2 x 60mm gauges fit in the middle quite nicely Funky, if you don't want your centre vents... (I know the blue probably isn't your cup of tea - but it goes well with V8 seats, mats, dash cluster etc in mine!)

Still got the factory Lamco gauges as well of course.

Big thanks to PhatRS!
