Yeah i've got the pod on the steering wheel column but thought it would be more arse ache trying to bodge a block of something to mount it on the opposite side.

Oranoco, i've already had the clock out & apart just not to sure i want to mount it there?? PS the top part on the dash near the drivers side A pillar......Paul Ripley did that!

In my FRST its in the instrument cluster, my car doesn have ABS so i move the brake warning light and the handbrake light over to the right and opened the slot up for the gauge. Mines a ACT gauge from Nomad Racing which i found to be considerably small than some of the other avalible, not sure which one you have.

I'll try and get you a picture if your interested?

Thanks

Matt

Matt,

Can you post a pic i'm interested!!! I thought of that but didn't realise you could move the little lights about!

Bugger more chopping of the dash, thought it was had enough cutting in a Elliot rev counter.

I'll get you a pic when i get home. To move the lights to need to cut some of the plastic hosuing behind the lights about becuase theres only one bulb for both lights, so you need to cut a hole for the light to get through.

Thanks

Matt
