Default Installing guages in a saff???

I have a later spec saff with facelift dash, i was going to get the earlier spec dash and mount 3 gauges where the heater vents are, but just wandered, do the original earlier spec saffs have heater vents there and if so what about the ducting behind it, do i just remove it or what????
Cheers!

Hi,

Remove and plug.

What do you want to install of type of gauges ?
I suggest one TC pressure, one combinated oil temp / oil pressure / fuel pressure with one inversor, and one exhaust gas temp.
What do you think about that ?

Regards

i had gauges mounted where the centre vents are, but after a while i put back the vents cos i prefer to have the airflow. now got a gay dash top 3 gauge mount.

if you do remove the vents, you must block the duct or outlet from the heater box, otherwise there will be less restriction here and all the airflow will just piss out behind the dash
