is there anything available that would enable me to fit a 52mm gauge where the clock is currently located.?

There's that GT Tuning mount they made that aloud you to fit a guage where the clock went, just finding one though is the next mission.

You could make your own though if you wanted to.

Anybody know a mount that you can suction mount to the windscreen... like you do with sat nav? Instead of cutting holes in the dash?

i have a gt tuning holder for the clock hole.. its pretty simple but if someone wanted to copy it and get some made your more than welcome to borrow it.. a mate used it as a template to make a simple gauge holder, not angled tho..

ive literally just finished making my own, i forgot i had a coin holder that fitted to some 5's in place of the clock, i chopped it here n there and its 99% sorted:)

all i need now is a piece of plastic, carbon fibre or something to glue over the modded piece,then drill a 52mm hole into it and it'll be 100% :)

as you can see, i just need to sandwich a peice of carbon fibre or something with a predrilled 52mm hole inbetween the gauge and that plastic modded bit.

i could do with one of these, could this be something that could be available in the future as a group buy?

obviously it will need someone to manufacture these, any ideas?

just the pic i need for the following question.........

see the dash flap above the gauge/clock(that isnt shut properly because its resting on the gauge:cooter:).. well could someone tell me if the fake switch/button to right of it (above the hot/cold heater knob) is removable or is it fixed as part of the dash.?
