Digital Gauge Mounting 97-05 Hilux

Hi,

I am looking at getting some gauges from here: Link and mounting in the dash above the environmental controls (where the coin tray is).

The dimensions are roughly correct, I may need to cut slots so that the gauges clip in properly.

Thoughts?

That should work. Have you seen the pillar pod's? 2 and 3 slot which fit the round gauges nicely. Might be another option too.

Yeah, seen those. I might put a couple in later for oil pressure etc however I want these ones for better accuracy on the boost and EGT as I have an aftermarket turbo and need to keep a fairly close eye on these.

if i was you i would put the boost/pyro gauges high up where they are easily seen because they are the ones you need to keep your eyes on to see what the engine is doing
