Default Gauges on late spec saff

Just looking for ideas on where to put gauges, im going to get some in the next couple of months.

On earlier ones iv seen vent ones, but its different on late spec, so has anyone got any pics?

Id ideally want to keep the clock etc. but i think i mihgt have to remove it.

You can get a holder that fits in one of the two radio spaces. Thats where we put my mates gauges in his late spec sapph.

Iv seen the secs monitors, but i read in another thread they only go upto 27psi, and on mine its about 30 or 31psi. Would it still work for everything else though?

My gauges are in the radio slot, though I soon had to move the boost gauge up onto the steering column cos I wanted to see it when driving.

This shot is from when we first built it...

I don't know how many gauges you have to fit but I've got oil pressure/oil temp and boost on the A-pillar - they're sort of in your line of sight as well
