VDO Mounting Bracket

Post by Mark S »

In order to monitor a bit better what's going on, I'm thinking of installing an additional bank of 3 x 52mm VDO gauges (boost, oil temp and oil pressure). Happy with all that but just need somewhere to mount them on the stock dash in a reasonably ergonomic and aesthetically pleasing way. Can anyone send links to examples of such installations?

Cheers...

The PO of my T25 mounted a rev counter gauge pod on one of these. Though you could modify to house 3 dials.

A old photo of my dash. (changed those terrible seats to captain ones ages ago).

That's lovely, thanks, both. I tend to prefer the one with the gauges in the side of the dash rather than sitting proud, if it's not too fiddly to achieve. Is that a 'dash tidy' too or a bespoke creation?
