custom gauge setup

[h0Ld3n`VN]

i dont know what its called but under where the cdplayer goes ive seen a few people installing 2-3 gauges in there

i was wondering what they used?? is it any type of hard plastic ? what kinda glue? etc.. help would be cool thankss

i guess anything would work, just what you can get your hands on and my mate did it in his vn a little while ago using checker plate and turned out pretty good

 

[h0Ld3n`VN]

haha yea i was going to use about anything to.. still looking !!
i only have one gauge at the moment but unsure what to get next

vacuum (same as air ratio i guess?)
fuel air ratio
oil temp
oil pressure

 

[kniever]

i'd go, oil pressure
water temp
and volts

that would be everything you need

ive got volts.. my water temp works very good on my cluster

ill post here once ive finished makin my centre console thing.. its allready been cut and crap just need to find a plastic piece lol.

thanks kniever for the quik replys

no problem :thumbsup: yeh my stereo has a volts thing on the display so no need for that but ive been wanting to get an oil pressure gauge and vacuum gauge does sound like a good idea, i know they are very useful but just need to learn how to read one properly

 

[h0Ld3n`VN]
