Default Anybody fitted steering column lamco gauge?

Hello all, I want to fit a Subaru supplied lamco gauge to my my00 classic. It's a bug/blob eye gauge with the black face, as I couldn't get hold of a white one.

I'm just wondering if anyone has any pictures or a fitting guide showing the actual gauge mounted. I need to know the best way of routing the wiring/pipework through the column.

Cheers

There ya go. Boost pipe is connected to spare nipple on front of inlet manifold or teed into boost control pipework with supplied T which has a restrictor inside so best used somewhere to prevent gauge flutter. Run through bulkhead grommet above clutch pedal. Electric supply to gauge connected to "lights on supply" to fog lamp switch.

Where do you get that gauge/kit/holder from please? (approx cost?)

Exactly what I'm after!

I've just taken one off my type r that I could sell you. One word of warning though, I took it off when I fitted an Apexi PFC as it only goes up to 1.3bar and I'm now peaking at 1.5.

Thanks for the replies. 911, I got it from my local dealer, it was 139.95 including fitting kit. Unfortunately they don't supply the white faced dials anymore, so I had to buy the black faced new age style one. It reads up to 1.5 bar by the way.
