Default Looking for an AU CENTER CONSOLE to make gauge pod

Hi everyone,

Wondering if you can help, we are looking for an AU Falcon center console to use as a prototype to make a twin gauge pod for the AU Falcon range. Second hand or damaged one's we will accept.

Any info greatly appreciated

Aly

(52mm) 2 inch gauges - Oil temp, oil pressure, amp, transmission temp, ambient temp, vaccum gauge or boost for those of you that may have bolted on a snail

The product is now under way guys. It will fit the 2 inch gauges or 52mm.

The gauge mount will be similar shape to the FPV style with the 2 seperate cups. The gauge mount will replace the section under the ash tray (the section where you throw your keys, smokes etc) Not sure what you call it?

The gauges will be facing up on a angle towards the driver.

There are no pictures of the product as yet, but will keep you guys informed of the progress.

Cheers

Aly
