Hope you're not having any problems, Adrian. Though, suspect you're looking for some installed pics. Come on guys were on the second batch now, surely someone has some installed pics. would LOVE to see. And here's some pics Justin from Auto Trade Auctions posted a while back with the Defi style guages fitted in case you havn't seen them.
Re: Hope you're not having any problems, Adrian. Ummmm - trouble ain't the word for it. I'm using those make believe Defi gauges too and they are just a TAD too big for the gauge holder, too long I should say. It just don't wanna fit where it should, not without a major modification to the top of the dash. Need to cut HUGE hole to accomodate them, not good. So I'm still gonna use the unit but probably with VDO gauges instead. Much shorter you see. Also as a bye the bye, those pesky Defi types are a major PITB in sunshine. The gauge just becomes unreadable, too dark. Another reason for my probable gauge change. Currently the unit is wired up but sitting on the passenger floor. A bit of a pity because in the dark they really come into theyr own. I'll take some pics and Email them to you asap. see ya Jack
AHA... ...larger/longer gauges are going to be an issue. We could surely do something about this, make the base a lil higher. Would an extra five or ten mil do the trick?
So is the "Best ever guage holder" a shit fit for the autogauge guages offered by Auto Trade Auctions?? I want to buy both these products but I am a little hesitant on the quality of both?...:wacko:
Way I see it.... ...is the defi style guages are quite large, and more importantly long. Therefore, the base of the back of the gauges prevents the holder from sitting flush against the dash. (thats how I'm reading it correct me if I'm wrong please Jack) Not a problem, don't think it would be hard to make a few changes. extra ten mil on the base might be all it needs for these extra long gauges to fit perfect. Would make the unit higher too which might not look as good. I'll compile a list also of gauges that fit. Yes Jack, the VDO gauges fit perfect... I believe HKS and Greddy are fine too. Not sure on Autometer but think these will be ok. (they make like 20 models so some may be extra long)
So the actual autoguage guages fit in the holders by Street to Strip?? The actual gauge holders don't fit right on the dash? Sorry I don't really know what you're saying egg?:embarrassed:
