I am wanting to fit some pillar mount gauges and I don`t just want to wack the holder on for them as I don`t think they look the best. Is there a pillar holder that uses the original plastic with the gauge holders plastic welded on so it retains the O.E plastic with the gauge holders?

If I am correct Markey B had something like this before the gauge holders in the cage?

you could always get freaky with a welder, and put them in a cage ;)

I really would like a 3 gauge holder so I can keep an eye on the oil temp and pressure and the water temp and then I can keep my boost gauge in the place it is now where the O.E clock is so I don`t have to move it

Mark that old omp cage that you sold to john who had my 5 before me fitted the rear cage but no front, dan who I bought it from had the front part of the cage but it got thrown away but his mum as she thought it was scrap:sad2:

otherwise I could have used that idea and gone from there but at the moment I think its either pillar mount or double din centre console!

All i have is the rear cage minus the cross bar and door bars. I have looked into the cage add on parts that or needed but its a small fortune!
