Well I found your mounting hardware for the radio slot gauges!

$13 for a 3 slot 52mm gauge housing. should go right into your current slot for an aftermarket head unit.

It's a pretty standard gauge size. I don't think it would be that hard finding a decent selection of gauges to fit.

Already there, custom cable cake. The VW brake handle bolts right to the floor, very simple.

Great job, pink! Can you post photos of the hand brake install? How you ran the cables, etc.? I'd love to put new leather seats and center hand brake in mine!
