Title: Gauges in the glovebox pics Post by: pupjoint on February 14, 2010, 12:15:39 pm initially wanted to cut up my dash to fit the VDO series 1 gauges, now reconsidering. a bit heavy hearted to cut my virgin 66 dash. i like how these gauges look on Bill Schimmer's car though.
i have 3-3/8 series 1 tach 52mm CHT 52mm oil temp 52mm oil pressure 52mm petrol gauge (optional to fit in he car, i can use the stock gauge) 52mm voltmeter (optional to fit) 52mm ammeter (optional to fit) 52mm Autometer AFR gauge dun think i can stuff all inside the glovebox Title: Re: Gauges in the glovebox pics Post by: Adele AW on February 14, 2010, 12:44:42 pm Rather than cutting the dash for the guages, we have autometer carbon oil pressure and oil temp guages in our glovebox! I like the look personally, but we used the original trim too, i think you can just see in the pic below! You can also just replace the lid in future if you wanted !

Absolutely, not much point in having them if you can't see em! Title: Re: Gauges in the glovebox pics Post by: BeetleBug on February 18, 2010, 21:31:43 pm I did it like this, the beauty is that I still have a glove box that I can use when I shut the lid and I also belive you can make room for 5 instruments this way. You do not even have to drill if you find a strong enough glue.
