Default Gauge In Coin Tray - S2

As above. My boost gauge was originally mounted on the dial surround, now i would like it moved into the coin tray area. Piping etc isnt a problem, but im not sure of the best way to mount the gauge securely? Any DIY guides/tips? Or even any pre made adapter plates that i could buy?

Cheers

buy a coin tray boost gauge plate from nomad racing, then get the hacksaw out and chop the back off the coin tray, slide the boost gauge into the nomad plate then put the boost gauge into the coin tray and fit the fitting kit to the back to hold the boost gauge in place, refit coin tray, job done

heres a pic of my old one on my old s2

bit confused where you mean?

I would assume you mean the coin tray/fuel computer hole, but then you say its currently mounted on the dial surround?
