If you wanted to make your own I can nab
You a picture of the back.

All I really had to do was chop the front off with a
Dremel to allow the lens to sit flush. This also allows you
To unclip the unit should you need to access inside.

Would also probably suit a Spanish dash better as the numbers in the
Speedo binicle are yellow too match. But thats me being picky

That looks spot on, was thinking about doing that my self when my cubby door fell off in my sammi several years ago, even got the guages, except i fitted electric windows and put the switches there. Did you have to remove the rear of the cupboard to fit them?
Mind you don't think i would like to be anywhere near the top of the roll angle tilt scale in a pretty much standard Sammi 15deg looks scary enough

Cheers guys

I didn't have to cut the back out. I ran the light cable
Up and through the hole in the top where the old doors
Latch hooked into place. I didn't want to chop it
About incase I got bored or didn't like it.

I fitted dials into my other sj and more importantly a place for coffee!

That looks like a Discovery cup holder to me.

It's a vauxhall vectra rear armrest unit.

It's the perfect width.

Andy, hopefully you will see this. I am wondering if you could make me the frame for the land meter. I have the land meter but do not have the tools or skills to make the frame. I live in USA.

Hi merlynda,

I made mine using left overs and tools at my previous employers, as I no longer work there the
Ability to make another would be more hassle that its worth.

I can show some more pics of how I made mine.
