Steve and Listees: I mounted a = VDO 3 gauge housing set on my dashboard cowling, but set them off to the right side = rather than center them up. didn't do the quick disconnect as all I did = was put plenty of extra wire(and hose for the vaccum gauge) for the times = when I needed to have the cover off and the system works just = fine.

Subject: Gauge mounting on top = of instrument cluster

I'd like to mount a VDO voltage gauge = on top of the plastic

pull-off cover over the instrument = cluster on my '86 Westy.

Haven't seen anybody else do this, = perhaps there's a reason

why. I realize the plastic if = fairly thin, but with a little care,

seems it should work fine. = There is room underneath, and

a couple of quick-disconnects should = allow removal of

the cover when = necessary.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks, =
