I have 4 2" gauges to install - I want to keep the open parcel shelf look of the MK1 - I bought a 3 pod and a single pod but now I am looking to install they sit below the lip of the shelf - need ideas

Wombat, can you fit 4 2" gauges and the original speedo into a deluxe binnacle?

I want to keep the MK1 centre binnacle.

Think these might do the trick unless something better comes up

David, i've been contemplating the same thing. I ended up sticking a three guage cluster, similar to those in the minisport link, to the far right of the top rail, hanging downwards. Looks alright, am yet to see how practical it is and if its going to give me the runs.
