Nomad 3 gauge vent holder
Got the metal one from Nomad with the engraving.
Should there be a clip to hold it in at the top of the dash cos mine sticks out a bit but not too badly.
Also there is a big gap about 10mm between the adjuster knobs and the panel itself almost as if something is missing or should I just stick on the Lockwood dial kit.
Don't think I will be able to get the old lighting strip off anyway cos it looks stuck on with something and don't really want to break it by taking it apart.

I bought one from burton and it was a metal one to. Unless they have started makeing plastic ones. Best ones i have seen are from auto specalist all the gauges are angled towards the driver. They are quite pricey dho

Had a look on AS website and could not see the holder anymore but I know it used to be there cos I contemplated buying it at the time. Wish I had TBH.

i had the metal one once and found i had to keep pushing it back in as it would keep popping out. I also appreciate my air vents too much when the weather is warm so i fucked it off and now have a double pillar gauge holder and my 3rd gauge is in the blanking panel to the left of my steering wheel. Im sure i used to see plastic ones that were the whole unit of where the vents are. Probably not made anymore.
