Gday all.
With some ideas I stole off TUFFED, i went out and made my own gauge pod setup. I hacked up a 3 pod, pillar mount style, and went from there.  I glued a new piece of perspex to my existing facia, then glued the pods to that.  Then plenty of bog.  Hopefully, my gauges come in at the end of the week, and then I'll chuck them in. I'll put up a new pic when thats done. For now, this is how its sits, painted matt black.

I'll have to find a new spot for my rear demistor switch. I have kept the original facia, so if i need to I can go back, and mount the gauges somewhere else. Thanks for the coments y'all
