I still have mine fitted as a reminder of what once was.

Or what it could be ;)

Gauge looks great there Keith. How much was the gauge? Do courtenay still do them?

if you ever get stuck for old school looking gauges try Nomad gauges i've been using them for yrs and they are bang-on

They still list it on their website, i'd say they are old stock though as I cant see it being a popular buy anymore with everyone going VXR mad.

looks good there keith, i take it your going to trim it into the dash properly..

What do you mean?

the gaps around the gauge where the clock used to be.

i'm happy with how it looks, I think filling in those gaps with something wouldnt work well.

Its a shame that you couldnt fit it behind the original clock but think the gauge would be to big.
Sweet build tho.

I'm with stuarty on this one, it doesnt fit with the attention to detail on the rest of the car. You could fibreglass the clock surround to be a flat face, holesaw a hole in it for the dial to sit flush, then spray/flock it.

On the whole though the car looks great.
