merckx Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Has anyone tried one of these to mount their 52mm gauges below the radio. Are they any good , when you look at the spare din slot below the radio there doesn't look lie enough space to fit the 52mm gauges. I don't want to fit a a pillar pod if I can avoid it. http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/radiofacedia.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I think 1 DIN is 178mmx50mm so there isn't enough room to fit a 52mm gauge, that holder looks bigger than 1 DIN to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're correct , 50mm in height. No good for standard gauges then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdavies Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Without running to the car with a ruler/measure - I am confused I have seen three sets of numbers: Single DIN ISO 7735 (178x53mm) single DIN (180 x 50 mm panel) Single DIN 7.2"X2.11" (~180x53mm) Supposedly ISO 7736/5 (which bleeding one?) (which doesn't quite agree with any of the above lol - well I can't tell without *BUYING* the standard). As DEFI make 52mm single din pods, I thought that it may be possible!? Gah, I love standards Aren't they great? That's why there are so many of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Defi Din Gauge, which is a complete unit, uses smaller gauges. http://www.nippon-seiki.co.jp/defishop/product/din/images/dinsize.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I did this in my old GT-Four but involved allot of hacking about to make it work, different gauge holder too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 The Defi Din gauge is limited a little, only information on a pressure and 2 kinds of temperatures can be displayed. Good for boost and oil temp, it's a pity the third gauge couldn't display air/fuel ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
