Default AUTOMETER INSTALL in SI AU

Hi guys,
Just got back from ACT AFD and seen a not too bad install of 2 autometer guages on an AU SI, as you can see he's installed them where the airbag is on the passenger side which is no good for seriesII and III owners. :

Unless you get rid of the airbag :

Mick

I like what Bri Bri is working on better. Saw it the other night at his place. A few more tweeks so that it will fit series 2 and 3 as well. Shouldn't be too much longer and he will have it all finished.

3rd time lucky and hoping this time it fits snug! He has just finished the 3rd prototype. The bastard ashtray keeps getting in the way, so crossing fingers it will fit nicely! If so we should have them up for sale on ebay very shortly.

Good for all the owners who don't have a passenger side airbag ... like all the utes up to XLS as well ... too bad for the XR owners with passenger side airbags.
