 I remember reading in the archives that someone was stating that the gauges
 will not fit in the plastic bit under the radio.  Well, in my 84 Westfalia
 there is room to spare and they fit quite well.  I installed a VDO Volt
 Meter and a VDO temprature gauge.  The only problem is the viewing angle -
 I can't read VOLT or TEMP at the top of the gauge - reading the gauge is no
 problem though.

you can also use the gauge cluster out of a '81-'84 Audi 4000s..
