Hiya,

looks nice - I'm tempted to do something similar. Did the oil gauges come with 'senders'? How are you going to attach them to the oil route?

Cheers, Pete

Might I ask where you got those bits? The single din guage bracket in particular, would be very handy as I can't be bothered to craft me own! Cheers!

avoid these ones like the plague! - they are cheap flimsy metal and do not even fit the gap properly..

my din panel is made by Omori so anyone who stocks/supplies Omori should be able to help you!..
