that fits most dials in it if u cut the top out then fibreglass it in accordingly

thats what i thought mate. ive got a sort of box type mount for them at the moment which is rounded at the top, which could go in place of the mfd maybe with a bit of fibreglass modding lol

couldn't you just solder it or rewire it to use spades and connectors .etc?

I'd look at chopping the MFD surround and using two coke cans within it then some smoothing off .etc

Have you ever thought about taking your dash out and making a unique one ?

May take time.

Do you have any fabrication companies near you ? or places that create and customise metal, wood or plastic ?

Try popping in and giving them your ideas

If its on a budget, go and find out what the local university use as the supplier and contact them like i did.

If you do something like this then it will mean taking time over moving electrics and designing exactly.

Good luck tho and im on msn if you need anymore help
