xyber 1 Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 yeah thanks It would, properly lost my rag earlier.Made my own air vent pod, but found that the gauge wont fit in the actual vent duct without cutting the dash so scrapped that idea, went and got a pillar pod, got everything in bits and couldnt find anywhere to run the pipes, threw a wobbler, put it all back together and went and had another Lemsip Max and a kip Link to post Share on other sites

Charged VR 0 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Followed the bonnet cable on mine through the bulkhead and into the car. Sealed the end. Perfect Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I looked at that but can't follow the cable inside the car due to fuse box, electrics and sound deadening, I might push a coat hanger down it and see where it goes Link to post Share on other sites
