Untitled by andysfatrs, on FlickrLightened loom to what i actually need
Untitled by andysfatrs, on FlickrWell my little dash idea worked out i think.
I used the newly-made holes to mount the gauges through the dash, rather than the intended top mount
Untitled by andysfatrs, on Flickrthis also had the advantage of dropping the gauges down a little
Untitled by andysfatrs, on Flickr
Untitled by andysfatrs, on Flickr

Untitled by andysfatrs, on Flickrwhile this was setting i decided to remove the front foglamps that were siezed on.

Hopefully will work out ok
