ok mate, let you off in that case.. look forward to an update
Apexi EL2 Electronic
Strange this should get bumped as I've just begain rebuilding my dash for next season.
I'm having three of the 60mm gauges in the picture above in the central air vent but I'm not sure what to do with the other two. I had considered fitting a long plate over the central vent and fitting all 5 gauges in that but don't know if that'll look messy.
Any suggestions as to where I can sit the two other gauges so it looks neat with three in the vent?
Also, any suggestions for how I would angle the gauges towards the driver slightly?
How bout you get some of these and have a play
Perfect, your my new hero. Where from?
60mm? Say its so.
Just playing around with lay-outs. This is winning so far - moving the heater controls to the bottom of the DIN slot, or maybe even into the armrest storage by extending the wires so its hidden? In the other DIN space I'd have Apexi gauge control, Profec B and cut-off switches.
I dunno - any suggestions? I like the three in the vent gap. I considered fitting the other two INSIDE the dash cluster as an alternative. One infront of the water temp gauge [most likely the water-temp one!] and the other err infront of the petrol gauge, but then I'm fooked for knowing how much fuel I got .

Cheers fella, I'll have to keep a look out on ebay for some of those, as their not exactly cheap from any of the online stores
I like ya dash idea, but what about moving the 3 top gauges down to where you currently have the two gauges, and then mounting the two gauges in the middle below them? That way you could mount them all very close together, almost like the Olympic Rings, although obviously not interlinking.
That will also free up the top dash vents for your Boost controller, ignition cut off or whatever else you wanted to fit there.
Just an idea mate
This is the best pic I got but this is how my centre console looks..
Will fit a Apexi AVC-R instead though.. Hopefully...
that looks really cool whacker!! best so far i reckon
sweet and simple !
Very nice, VERY custom!!
But how does your heater work now?? has everything got a toggle switch?
