Yes, I second what Steve notes above - you need to use the VDO bracket, as their large plastic spin-on "nut" which comes with the gauges does not begin to fit into the space.

And yes, just buy an old CD holder and gut the drawer part. In my case I bonded it to a piece of aluminum (rather than Steve's plastic sheet), but the concept is the same.

I could not make three (3) gauges fit into the available width space, but there is room for two (2) gauges easily, with a bit of available real estate left over for a switch or two, as you may need.

Thanks - DM
