well done mate.. fcucking great IDEA!

show us the end product ay!

Thanks Guys.

In the vent its almost inline with the instrument cluster and is in plain view of the driver. It also will be non visible from outside the car.

This is the gauge im looking at getting. It matches the instrument cluster 100%.

Looking good mate.

I think Alex bought one like this?

Hyde's on the ball


Looks like this at the moment. Air still flows around the vent. Its not ghetto at all. Its mounted hard and firm with rubber sheeting thats been cabletied onto itself. Works well.

But I'll be ditching it soon for this:

have you got another one? or can you get another one for me?

look at them taking over the thread... bloody hell...

looks good mark, very neat... almost "Hollywood" ish

yes can organise getting some more if needed :ninja:

Hmmm, **** in all honesty I can not remember, knowing my two left feet approach at times I probably did try and fit the silver ring in between them. I might have to give it another go, I still need to get something to hold the gauges in there, Did you make something up your self to do it? or buy?

ahhh... ok..... and did you use that U shaped bracket (with a flat bottom) that comes with each of the gauges to hold them in place? I might have to find someone to make some of these fill-ins up, sounds good

Back on topic then..........

Boost gauge came in quickly so it was onto filling the vent. I wrapped one layer of glossy magazine cover around the gauge as the filler does not stick to it and it gives the surround a snug fit, about 1mm all the way around the gauge.

Gauge wrapped and vent filled.....



gauge removed easily by pushing it out.......



Glossy magazine cover easily peels away from filler.......



Leaving a perfect 1mm gap around the gauge.......





There are a few air bubbles as was expected, these will be refilled after sanding........
