It is a DIN standard stereo slot so it is 50mm tall and 180mm wide

i managed to get my 52mm guage in the gap with a tiny space above and bellow the guage i also moved the stereo down so the guage is above the stereo.

52mm gauge in mine

Where did u get that plastic din plate mate

 

[Damoegan]

Ebay.. search for DIN blanking plate.

Halfords also sell them.

 

[flegz16]

this the right one? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CD-Radio-blan..._Vehicles_FasciaPlates_SM?hash=item3ca9ca6712

 

[Damoegan]

That will do the job.

 

[flegz16]

this is going to be a daft question but hay, i interested in getting some gauges set up. how do you go about setting them up? eg boost gauges and oil gauge

 

[lee_fr200]

Thanks for that damien big help mate, are the guages easy to plumb in

 

[Damoegan]

Yes, easy to plumb in. Just find the DV and cut the vac line that goes to the top of it and put the 'T' piece in there, then run the vac line into the cabin.

Damoegan is right...

hello, as we are on the subject of gauges, has anyone put theirs in the air vent next to the door? i think it would b a pretty cool place to have them!

 

[Damoegan]

Yes, seen a few with them in the vent. I'm not a fan of them...

 

[rod the sod]

no? it either that of below the cd player in my opinion! not a fan of the pillar gauges!

 

[lee_fr200]

i prefer the din guage rather than vent or pillar mount, is that advice the same on the diesel fr damien
and does anyone know how you do the oil temp n pressure guages

 

[Guffers]

I have mine mounted in the RHS centre vent, very visible and not too hard to fit!

Next i'm putting an oil pressure gauge into the other vent.

Cant find the piccies but its in my RR's thread

 

[rod the sod]

ye, i was thinking about putting it there but dont you miss the cold air in the summer?
