mostly pointless and potentially stupid question

hey lads, im pulling the tx apart, and in the centre console (the gear stick part) in the top storage bin theres a large hole at the back, slightly left of centre with a smaller hole on either side of it, i was wondering what (if anything)was there. also, i was thinking of belting a couple of guages in there, here comes another stupid question- has anyone had a crack at it, and if so, any pics?

thatnks for your paitience,

i know what ya talking about. i was gonna use it for a head unit. BUT yes some modles came with gauges there (like the CDT or some shit) thats what the holes are for so they could run the wiring threw

(LOK15 has a pic (and he has the original gages for sale)

There's meant to be a little blanker plate covering the holes. They were there for the models that had guages as gene said. I am putting an LCD screen and oil pressure guage there in my gem.

For those that are flush with cash, I reckon a retractable in-dash TV screen would go perfectly in that spot.
