Over the last couple of weekends I've been whittling away at a piece of 4mm aluminium to make my own bracket which holds the small diameter after-market gauges in place. This positions the gauge faces flush with the yoke and at least 50mm lower than a standard bracket. I'm also integrating the warning lights onto the wings on the side of each dial.
Making your own stuff is incredibly satisfying even if this is just a small start!
