   hello all
   
   i just got a 52mm rev counter gauge and am looking to fit it in the old sexy sax !
   but i dont know where to fit it on the dash ?
   
   i seen the piller pods but none for just a saxo and the ones that are cost an arm and a leg for a bit of plastic so....
   
   1.) would this fit the piller on a saxo? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SINGLE-1-GAUGE...es_CarParts_SM
   
   2.) if i was going to mount it flat on the dash where would i fit it ? I have seen people take the vents out of the center consol and plastic weld some plastic there fit them there but anywhere els on the dash you can think of ?
   
   
   thanks, Liam

   The top 1 will fit on the pillar by the windscreen,the other way is to remove the centre air vent & either buy a blanking plate (ebay cheapest)or make 1 up out of maybe perspex.
