;) NICE!
THANKS that ss plate was hard to figure out how to mount, I used a series of "L" brackets for reinforcement and mounting locations.

its just knowing what you are looking for is the hard part!
Pretty much.  Once I got it, I finished it quickly

The 2-1/16" gauges can be a pain to mount in smaller vehicles - I use the 1-1/2" ones, they fit very neatly into a single DIN space, and can be made to look like a factory install.

I'm away from home right now, but when I get back (in a couple of days) I'll post pics of the gauge install in my Swift, and I'll be doing an install in my Grand Vitara soon, so I'll show you that also.

I had found smaller gauges, and I knew the dash would have to be cut anyways, so I fit whatever I could find at the local auto parts store, which was the 2" ones.  Plus, I didn't care about the ashtray, and the cigarette lighter I thought was dead (which I found out it is "ignition hot" only)...so I added two gauges and two new power receptacles
