Question Just fitted boost + oil temp to early classic

Not keen on any of the pods on the market for the early classic, so decided to fit them in the centre console. Took me a day .

Ignore the cheap gauges, Have a nice set of carbon faced autometer on order.
what you think. ?
bigger pic.

fairly easy to do , A days work, thats with wiring in the gauges too.
first you have to cut up the cup holder, Cut all the middle out just leave the two runners. then cut out a plate to hold the gauges, I used 4mm ply wood then covered it in carbon fibre look sticky stuff. Fit the gauges........ and bobs your uncle.
Can post some pics up tommorrow if it would help.

pictures would be great. have been thinking about gauges and either wanted them where the 2 heaters are (just above where you have them) or where you have them.
