Series 1 Gauge holders. What options are about?
Hello peeps! im after a gauge holder to go inside the Series 1, and the best place i can see is where the centre vents are. Does anyone make a insert for this? If so, where can i get one from?
Cheers!
Mike

no mine was done by me mates old audio company, i got him to do it as there was none about at the time that i liked
only the plastic ones that nomad (think it was nomad) did, i didnt like them
if you want them to sit flat they are easy enough to do

if you put it in the centre speakers it might be best to get it made to the actual dash
as the square hole warps so might be bowed in the middle

That's fine mate. Your choice.
I'm not keen on the centre vent options, plus I removed mine from my old S2 and white dial matched, so silly not to use that one.

BoXXer, mine is cut from a sheet of metal, it was a right foooker to cut the holes for the gauges so i would recommend, just using plastic, it would be far easyer to work with
