Hi, have searched this topic but nothing conclusive so will ask the question..what are the most useful gauges, switches to put on a Raptor dash I am going to fit my turbo gauge, that at the moment just sits on a piece of cardboard! and my square clock, lighter, radio and rear window wiper switch but then I am open to ideas...Rev counter?
thanks in advance as always

I'd certainly go turbo gauge, oil pressure, voltage and temp - beyond that whatever takes your fancy.

Worth having a look at what instantsquid did with his mud dash - loads of swtiches and stuff on that!

Thats a link to a previous thread on consoles.
When i bought my Mud console i found the best thing to do was search google images for setups other people had done. A lot of times you only get one shot at getting it setup correct because one the holes cut there no going back. oh and make sure the unit has enough depth for fitting the stereo you intend using, i found that out the hard way

amps, water temp and oil pressure in mine. water and oil of the mechanical type so true reading and not relying on lectrics,loads of room for standard depth stereos but you may need to adjust gear lever slightly to avoid trapping fingers

Thanks Hook, do I bend the gear stick or is there an adjustment?

There is an adjustment where the gear stick enters the gearbox...easy! Pull up boot you`ll be able to see it.
