| Briskodian  | Gauges again... Some questions... Having read the thread about boost gauges the other day, I started thinking about some myself. Not really a fan of stuff stuck to the top of the dash or the windscreen pillar, so started looking around at whats out there and found these... Anyway some questions. 1. Can the radio HU really be moved down to where the cubbyhole is now without wiring problems - will the original wiring reach? 2. how much of the dash will i have to pull apart to route tubing / wires through the 'grommet behind the pollen filter' route or will i be able to feed through just by reaching up behind the glovebox? 3. again about routing wires, to light the gauges up, I will be looking to wire them to the dimmer switch as per instructions, but does the bottom of the dash on the driver side come apart easy to get access? Cheers! |

| Or you could fit it below as in this pic  To answer Q1 above, yes you can move the radio to the bottom. The wires are plenty long enough.

| Briskodian | Thats good news re question 1, prefer the gauges to be above the radio for readability i think. |
