Center Console Gauges - Tissue Box

Featured Replies

#1

Just interested to see if anyone has put 2-3 gauges in where the tissue box is? I thought I could "best" utilise this and use the top half of the tissue box to house 3 gauges...only problem is I need a gauge holder for it... so any info or pics would be good :turboboink:

This is what I have there. Left is trans oil temp, middle Engine oil temp and right is boost.

did you make that holder yourself??

#4

yeah Its just a sheet of alloy, bent and trimmed to size.

#5

What about buying the Single DIN fascia then buying gauge set that fits a Single DIN?

#6

Similar to approach above but I retained the tissue box and fabricated an insert to hold the digital gauges. Boost on the left, oil pressure on the right.

I am not one to watch the boost gauge too much but I was interested just to make sure maximum boost was achieved so this digital meter has a "Peak hold" (similar to analogue gauges) function which you can call up and reset as required.

I note these are now available in a Blue LED which might look a bit better than the red.

I toyed with it and had them resting down there while I evaluated options.

To tell you the truth if you are interested in staying alive, dont do it.

Reason, with the guages above the ICC you can quickly look at them, With them down so low you have to take your eyes off the road to look. I'm serious when I say that this was a MAJOR issue for me and a massive safety concern.

But it can be done.

Single DIN is the standard of cd player sizes.

:stupid:

I have a Temporary boost guage there as well and find it very hard to look at when I'm giving it sh*t and trying to keep the thing on the road and being manual I can't see sh*t when I'm in higher gears...
