Hello , every one I have just purchased a bunch of gauges , monster with shift light , boost , water temp , oil pressure . I was just wondering about legaly mounting the monster tacho i dont want to put it in and then be told by officer law that i cant have it here or there , I'd like to put it in and leave it there lol . Also just wondering about mounting the other gauges up the pillar is this against the law , is it alrite to put them there or do they affect vision or is it hazard in an accident like i said realy only want to install them once . Thanks in advance :yeah:

they cant be in an area that can be classified as breaking off and becoming a "projectile" , endangering you the driver or a passenger. (passenger side of dash board - no no)

but ive also heard lower than the steering wheel? so that complicates things.
cant be in front of existing essential gauges (speedo in particular)

Your mate should be shot for drilling into an international dash.


From what i understood the regulations as, it can't protrude the dash in ANY way, meaning you have to get a custom one made to replace your original cluster. but, why would you, Level 3 dash comes with all that and more :)

Cluster surround is part of the dash......
It was moreso, your mate is a wanker for having a monster tacho in a car fitted with a tacho. I couldn't care about the dash, mine is fine ;)
