Do you not have a display in your top console . Or servitude thinking to remove the display .
If I can find a spare standard clip in panel I could make one no problem .

[Cowboy Dave]

Yeah we have the display up top so the gauges would be on top of that again. Which is where I've always thought about mounting a tablet...

Anyway here's some of the examples of stuff I've seen around to get the imagination going,

[Cowboy Dave]

This isn't the best example of the column mount in that they still look grafted on rather than natural but they are pretty low profile, which you need to minimise blocking the main dash display cluster.

The other one is to show what I meant about the gauges being partially recessed. Makes them a bit more subtle and less like an afterthought. Degree of difficulty increases though I imagine.

[Cowboy Dave]

These are two of the vent mount holders I mentioned above. They lift out an existing vent and clip these in. The guy that makes them started doing one particular model for a forum he was on and then ended up doing them for a whole bunch of different vehicles. A classic example of hobby to business I suppose.

Another option which might look a bit more factory would be to get one of these double decker hoods and integrate the gauges into the upper section where the RV meter usually goes.

[Cowboy Dave]

Or, you could adapt one of these to fit 2 or 3 gauges where the single din slot is below

By now you might have an idea why I haven't yet been able to make up my mind...

Looks wicked mate, love it!
Did you paint the coils or did they come that colour? I was going to paint mine green to compliment my bash plate at one stage.

[animal-z]

They came that colour strangely lol .
The set I ordered were black . But when they arrived they were orange ...... couldn't believe it .... went perfectly with my front end

[tritonvx80]
