Yep. But I'm interested in any after market installs which look good. Std gauge size seems to be 52mm. Thanks.

You can get larger or smaller gauges mate. An idea to maybe get a joint oil and pressure gauge. As for postions people have taken an Scooby top dash centre pod and fitted it to the flap in the top of our dashs.

The gauges were from a company called rspec and around £50 each. The pod was made for me by another member but he seems to have vanished  s:( :( s:(

It looks like I've got the same gauge pod as Steve-m-uk but with Stack gauges.
