Might have to play with the brackets on the rear so they tighten up properly, but quite easy to sort out :thumbup1:
Just made a quick demo out of a spray can lid to show you what i mean

Took me a couple of minutes and really easy to do, the spray can lid works quite well , plus if you use a black one it'll blend in with the plastic on the gauge pod? :thumbup:

It you use a C shaped bit of plastic/dense foam behind one side of the gauges, they'll sit at an angle to face you mate, if you make it so its say 5mm at it's highest point in the centre of the C shape then taper it off to say 1-2mm at each end, so its like a wedge that sits one side of each gauge, could always use 5mm MDF then spray it as its very easy to shape? :biggrin:

:laugh: i have my uses mate :laugh: if you use a spray can top they will fit round the 50-60mm gauges as its soft enough to bend round the gauge itself?
Can cut the top with a pair of scissors too so nice and easy :thumbup:
