Good work UAV, keep it coming.
One of the best things about sites like these is seeing the custom thinks people are upto.
And then being pissed off because you realise you havent got the skills to do it yourself :cry: :ugeek:

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything important, it's too late to stop reading it.

the same mob now makes a boost and egt combination gauge that i will get at later date and hopefully mount above. They are exactly the same and the background colours are changeable so will make them blue.

what size gauge is that?

also what size hole saw did you use? is there anything behind there like wires etc that you have to be carefull of?

i brought a 52mm gauge today keen to mount it in the same position as you cutting that pvc to shape could be tricky :)

i think my guage is 50mm and i bought a new 51mm hole saw to do it. if yours is 52m then you would have to get a 54mm. There is nothing up behind the dash, just dont go to far to the right as the air vent is there. if you take the cover panel out from under the dash you can see and feel right up there. PVC was easy, just cut with a hacksaw and shape with the end of a belt sander, or metal file.
