What do your console gauge look like? it would be nice to have them all match.
I like to do all of the gauges in one file, on top of each other so that all of the elements are the same size and line up properly. Yours look pretty good, just need some tweaks to really make them look right.

Hi Mark, thanks for your response. They are Autometer Designer Black model gauges that I had refaced here in Australia. As I couldn't get an OE look, which is my preference, I decided to go white with red backlit. My HSV has this set up and it is one of the things I really like. I don't have a pic of mounting, but they are secured with metal frame. I have attached a pic of console gauges.

What I really don't like about these gauges is the lack of turn signal (these are the leds at top of each binnacle, very hard to see in daylight). The high beam indicator is top LED between binnacles and Check Engine Light is bottom red one between binnacles.
I would much prefer an OE look with inbuilt turn signals, low fuel light would be nice. Happy with 8k tach, but 140mph would be better than current 120mph.
cheers Roger
