Been a long haul simply because I live out bush so whipping off to the bits and pieces shops is impossible. Will fit it tomorrow I hope and be done with the bloody thing!

Autometer gauges don't fit without the spacers and having one leg trimmed back to about 10mm long.
Autron Pod is way way too shallow.
Spacers were made for me by a mate.
Elbows and fittings came from Pirtek in Darwin.
Paint and wiring by mineself and don't ask about the damn dings in the bezels!

My thanks to MarcusParcus for his advice too :D

Well Done

Hello Dan

I am amazed at your persistance to get the original plastic holder into the pod...

I think I may have mentioned it - on mine - I cut the steel screws down by about 12mm and also cut the plastic down (with an angle grinder) and then the gauges sit flush and you can use the plastic (albeit a bit shorter)

Well done and looks great.

Marc
