Personally very happy with these. Originally a check light panel replacement from Tangent Innovations. I love the original check panel so didn't want to remove it, but I noticed the check panel is a similar size to the front ashtray - so I bought one with the intentions of sticking it there. A small amount of cutting on the plastic shroud that comes with the new panel was required, but after that it slotted right into where the ashtray slot is. Yet to be wired up, but here it is:

Awesome - have you shared this with the supplier? They might want to make a version just for this.

Yep I just sent them some photos. I honestly can't believe it's not designed for the front ashtray slot but fits so well...

I’d probably run the temp sensor in the oil circuit seeing as water temp is on the dash :D Cool looking unit though.
