gillti said:Thanks for the pics texas, rice and pinion. Good ideas. Rice, what kind of engine swap did you do? or am I crazy, I thought I saw a 5 speed manual transmission on that thing.
Rice said:The ashtray hole is where I mounted switches ... in my case fuel pump, oil cooler fan, and fog lights. In the radio hole I mounted a charging light, oil temp, and clock (Autometer makes one that matches the other guages) ... and then the instrument cluster is all the other stuff.
The plates I used are simply 1/8" aluminum that I cut out.

I do not want to cut my dash either - blasphemy!
Seems like the radio slot is too small to stuff three guages in there, unless there are some smaller ones I do not know about.
Thanks
