A nice small flocked "a" pillar mounted single pod guage would look good mate.

Or take an a-pillar mount, trim it down, and mould it onto the top of the centre vent housing.

Hmm, do any standard Vauxhall dial sets come with a boost gauge?

I vote for the clock location Keith.

I moulded my rev counter into where the two centre vents were, but a boost gauge the same size as the one above, might look a bit lost there.

I'd put it where the Clock should be or put it where one of the centre vents are

Change the heater controls and mount 3 dials in there. Or graft on the part of the dash that the heater controls from another dash just below or above (ie where vents or stereo sits).
I remember Johnny A (Mig/ RB) had 3 dials mounted in them and they looked sweet. (allthough he just had hes heater switches dangling thru the stereo hole as he hadnt got round to sorting them!)

I did the clock loaction for my oil temp guage it looked ok but a bit out of place on its own.
