    VZ SV6
    Hey Guys,

    Know this has been talked about a lot but I would like to know if and how I can install a set of the binnicle gauges into my SV6 VZ.

    I really want the facia which holds the gauges to be the same grey as the console in and would want to put in vacuum and air/fuel ratio gauges.

    Please help
    Dave

    they might fit, you might also have to change the colour as they only came out on the hsv's

    that was just the pod mate, but that was back over 2 years ago, so im sure there are more people making them now and prices have dropped.


    oh and its fibreglass as well not plastic

    i hear that the VY HSV gauge binnacle fits into SV6 or commodore without climate control as the facia is the same as VY but VZ calais berlina monaro etc are diffrent

    CV8Z and I beleive SSZ VZ's come out with a dash pinnicle factory. Comes in all the same colours as the dash looks awesome in the monaro font. Should match your dash colour(?)

    Expect to pay for them tho some where around 350 at a guess.

    they only fit climate control dashs, which have the smaller space up top, and pretty sure only come in black


    your right about the vy ones, but they are the big single piece one that looks crap, where the vz one it a bit more moulded around the gauges

    How much did the binnacle cost you?

    Binnacle $60+
    Gauges, depending on what brand you use. $50 each +
    Personal opinion, i'd only put genuine ones in myself.
