The master farter
I would say its ok, but it would depend on the cop I suppose. They seem to make up, or bend and stretch the rules when it suits. But check out VSB14, the info you need may be in this.

Thanx mate.
I can always take it to a court if I believe the cop is going out of his way.
(I always stand on my knees when I talk to a cop. )
I've seen guys installing series of gauges like this on top of the dash, but I think there're some rules that we need to stick with.
VSB14 is a fair bit go through.
I was hoping blokes here might know about how to install these gauges on the dash in way to stay out of trouble with cops.
I've been wondering exactly what they are.
Cheers
Dom

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Thanx mate.
Any chance you can direct me to how to install it without making a mess on the dash?
A photo or a link would be great.
I'm attaching the vacuum hose to a redundant port on the manifold, just under the carby.
I'm not sure about the best spot to get it through the firewall though.
The designated firewall hole toward the end of the driver's side(next to the brake booster) seems like
bit too far of a route. Is there any other safe spot to push the hose through safely?
Do I need to drill a hole on the top of the dash to get it to the gauge on the dash?
Or can I squeeze the hose through the vents between the windscreen and the dash?
Thanx
Cheers
Dom

This is a nice looking one, but a bit pricey for a dashboard pod.

This is an economical solution for three gauges(52mm).
Though it appears being straight doesn't help. The gauge holes should've been angled.
