TC center dash panel gauge placement

Post by Warmuthb » Sun Feb 16, 2014 8:34 am

Is there a "proper" way to place the gauges in the center panel? Of course, the horn/ dipper switch is fixed. How about the others? I have ...from left to right....Ampmeter, ignition/light switch, horn/dipper, and finally, the oil pressure gauge ( which places this critical gauge closer to the driver). Anyway maybe it doesn't matter much, but I've seen them different ways.

Agree with Steve, and that's how my car is set up, but it actually makes more sense to put the oil press gauge in the ammeter spot. This is because it is obscured from view by the steering wheel if it is in the correct position, but easily seen in the other spot.

Remember though, that the EXU layout is different, with the ammeter and oil pressure gauges in the middle,
and ignition switch and horn outboard on either end.
