Just wondering what people have done to mount 3 gauges inside an early classic, they dont seem to be catered for at all with regards to triple pods etc? any pics?

samcowrx

i suppose a DIN one for 52mm gauges will probably be the only option other than a pillar mount.

Here are mine



But they are a sod to fit the din plate is nowhere near the right shape or size
Had to do some cutting and grinding with a dermal but it was worth it

Thanks everyone, the milsport does look good but i dont fancy losing the vents, DB07P1, you have managed to fit that din holder in, but jay ma could not do it without losing the ash tray?

Looks good rbaz, same stereo as me too!

Are those din ones made out of plastic or steel?

Just the normal metal din plate (from Gauge Place) but had to bend and cut it a little to make it a neat fit.
I managed to keep the ashtray, lighter, cubby hole and drinks tray but all had to be moved/cut

Bloody stereo hasn’t got a clock on it

How do you actually fix the guages in those triple din pods so they dont move about in the pod?

Ginge !

i got some factory fitted ones where the stereo is, problem where you lot mounted it is when you use the cup holder you can see the gauges,, so no point,, also you gotta take your eye off the wheel to see them too

im about to get some 60mm gauges and mount them on the heater controls as soon as i find somewhere i can relocate them and still have em working

I dont use the cup holder, i was just wondering how to secure the gauges in that din pod?

I slid the gauges in then used foam tape (usually supplied with the gauges ) fit really close to the back of the plates. Mine don’t move or rattle but you can turn them around if you twist hard enough

I mounted the gauges first cutting the din plate and grinding a little from the sides then had to alter each compartment under them. Drilling & grinding the console and the surround but they look good and I managed to keep the cup holder handy on long runs the angle of the plate I used makes a big difference in the visabilility of them.
