like this:


no computer trickery at all, just the speedos relocated to a box and a camera pointing at them with a lead attached to the screen

but im sure you can get them to be displayed on a screen properly, but it wont be easy or cheap as i looked into it before i decided on the camera!

Never seen the point of a camera pointing at dials myself. If the TV is just going to display the normal dials then why not jut look at the dials themself instead of a TV .

Not to mention most of the TV setups look naff with the whole camera thing.

The top part of the dash was flocked/trimmed in the same material and it was done to match i believe
