Hi - Nice website by the way - look forward to your upgrades - I have fitted a vacuum gauge and voltmeter gauge to my old Capri many years ago but not to peugeot - I know this is not any help at the moment but just thought I would say Hi.

Hi Mate - I have had 2 - First was a old W reg 1.6L white with black vinyl Roof - The second was a Green 1984 A reg 1.6LS with Alloys , 2.0L carb & Diff - thats the one i installed the gauges in - It was Mint condition right up until a motorcycle decided to impale himself into my rear quarter at about 50MPH :cry: :evil: ( he was O.K) and i had to rebuild the rear end after that. Had it for years then sold to a mate of mine.

Any ideas for what? Are you wondering where to put the gauges? Over on the coupe club Rudymanz was putting the guages for his second engine where the centre vents were in the dash. There were some pictures but he seems to have been fiddling with his photobucket account.

Btw has he really got the second ES9J4S running without a BSI to keep it company? :shock: :shock:

yeah - where to put them, are there any plates that go in the vents where the gauges can be placed?

No, nothing so easy, he's making the backplate out of glass fibre I think.
