Ok so here we go...
a few items to mind crunch on..
comments and criticism are more than welcome..

Firstly the renowned clock gauges issue..
as you can see here is the dash with a cover I made and a few empty 2" shells to sample
Take note of the size of the gushes in comparison to the clock, so flush is not going to work.

Ok so as you can see its very tight, and the goal is as low as possible so the journey starts!!!

But now I have my "Digital" route to add as well.
this is just a rough mockup wich I can alter and change the layout as requested..

So as you can see digital WILL work but unfortunately it's not everyone's cup of tea tho...
but it's the route I'm taking..

Here is now my gauges mounted into a speedo cluster, again just roughly so it's not the final layout. Itll have labeling and a tint screen over the top to stop glare and match the rest..

the final product I will have look like its ment to be there.
iv gone with 4 gauges and only 3 fitted ATM the water temp is below the water guage, oil temp above, boost replaces AYC as I do not use AYC and oil pressure will come, not sure where yet tho but plenty of time.
please let me know what you think guys...
the digi gauges I dismantled the screen from the boards and made them remote. So the brains can be hidden away out of sight..
