Sorry No ita a coolant gauge, but same principle for mounting It's perhaps the only space I have, so, any chance of a photo?

Welding - What a pain having to get someone else to do a 10 minute job. If I couldn't weld I'd be quite happy about it but nobody on the marina has a mig, it's all stick. Add to that my exhaust tailpipe is welded on so I'll jave to remove the whole thing at which point I won't be able to drive it to a welder with a mig. A simple thing turning into a day of mucking about.

Or I could use it as an excuse to test my 2.5 and take a drive up to you. Or if you are Lincoln way?

I don't really want to wait until techenders and what if it rains all weekend? You'd be welcome to drive over but it's a long way! I could also (comparatively) nip to flakey Dunc's establishment. But simplest thing will be find someone nearby, someone here will give me and my exhaust a lift, there are plenty good eggs on the marina.

No idea how to upload a picture, I've got 2 gauges where the ashtray used to be.

Ash tray adaption maybe. If the dash was hacked already I'd make more holes. When the mount arrives I'll have a play.

My column is the older type with the ignition in the side so no chance of copying pkrboo's neat solution. This spightly kack idea is my best shot so far, trapped under the instrument panel if I can find the screws and clips... I'm not happy that it's obscuring my historic smiley sticker.

I got the rev counter for the previous bus/engine which was a boy racer revvy thing. I got it well off the scale once, just to see. On this one it reminds me not to bother trying as it only goes half way. 👍
