Moved the 4 egt gauges down onto the gbox tunnel as well
Picky of the dash of my camera phone ( dont do it justice )

This is the first time I have found anyone referring to even a single EGT - EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE gauge on a liquid-cooled car engine yet alone four - one per cylinder! :shock:

I don't envisage needing EGT gauges for my Toledo's 58 bhp, 1296 cc engine, but I reckon I shall be able to squeeze 7 analogue gauges plus speedometer & tachometer into a substitute convex instrument panel of a Dolomite HL dashboard. :D 8)
