Adding gauges to padded dash

[mike202]

I have a westy with a padded dashboard and have a pair of gauges to mount under the dash to monitor oil temp and pressure. What’s the best way to attach them ? [emoji2955]

you can get a 2 gauge pod ideal for the job I have oil temp/ and pressure in mine under the dash.
cant get photo up but here’s a link to them on the face book page

Thanks I can’t see the pics at the mo. Will look later.
I do have the twin gauge pod from VDO as well.
I suppose you can either screw/ bolt the gauge pod directly to the dash or
mount it on something else.

Mike does your Bus have a parcel shelve? If yes, you can mount the two gauge pod on the shelve next to the handbrake lever. If you don’t have a shelve, you could use some gauge cups and screw them under the dash pad. Those cups can be moved any direction and look very cool too

Thanks I decided to mount the under the dash in the end. I can see them when normal driving position well there. Put the cool green filter on the lights [emoji3]

I cut some pieces of the padding off so the bracket butts up to a solid bit of metal.
