Cheers, stereo sold a good while back as i managed to find one of the volvo cd player's in rare black :).

I can still close the vents with the dial.

[T4Rick]

How much did you sell it for lol there quiet expensive in halfords

[theflyingbrick]

ive just purchased a gauge pod and mounted it on the dash just infront of the speaker drivers side grill and stuck it rather then screwing it,also all the wires and vacuum lines run through the speaker grill,i did have to cut out a small bit of the grill but this can always be replaced and all the holes will be covered if ever i want to remove it :) i always try to leave it possible to return to standard form where i can incase i ever sell it,coz we all know how upset the purists can be ;)

I used to have myne herehttp://i595.photobucket.com/albums/tt39/t5pete/DSC00061.jpg

[jayeastanglia]

can you not remove the ash tray and mount the gauges you want there? at least the screw holes wont be visible when you sell the car on at a later date.

I would like it in view to be honest.The set up that James has is very unique lol

[dicky b t5]

Ive got no pics of mine...But if you sit in your car and look through the bottom right hole in your steeringwheel (when straight)!! Mines fitted their under the dash !!

Out of the way and out of your eyeline, just look through the steeringwheel and there it is.!!

Shame lol looks like its going in the vent

[Volvostorm]

Make one up, get a spare trim, and mould a universal holder into it.

[T4Rick]

I could do lol alot of work involve mate

[Tomcat]

Would it be worth my time to make a decent one up in grey fibreglass?, could make them so they're a good fit.
