Most of you know, I'm a VW fanatic as well. Not so much air cooled anymore, more 1st gen water cooled but I know where my roots are. So I lean back on that for a lot of options. For the gauge setup, I leaned back to my VW life for the gauges because as stated, I hated all the mainstream options; bolted to bottom of dash blocking things, some center console that didn't match, pillar mount not even an option, etc. etc. etc.

 

So in the best interest of the community, I present the following:

You will have to grind or mill (I milled) the mounting holes slightly wider. It is step machined so there is room without compromising strength or looks. I also had to grind down the flange where the column slides in. Other than that, plug and play. My tach will follow the same theme...slightly, but above the column, I hope.
