Persistence, good luck, and an endoscope all helped. I used small nylon airline that was easy to poke through up the passenger side of the door frame. All the wiring was then strapped on and dragged through. The gauges cost me a fortune (A$550 I think) so I wanted them to look cool.
There was no space for the proper brackets in the console, so they are glued into place. This is now a problem as I want to replace one of them, the vege oil pressure, for one with a lower range. I suspect I will use the one in the console for engine oil pressure and mount a new vege oil pressure gauge on the dash somewhere.
I would have preferred to angle them better so they were looking at me as the driver, but again lack of space meant I had no room to tilt them.
