yes the gauge kit came with electronic sender, so no oil tube make it neater.
I copied the standard brake layout using the one master and 2 circuits, and managed to get the std footpedals to clear inside with the wheel woks, although there is not an abundance of space.
Just adds to the novel steering ergonomics of the van.
 
The new windscreen is in, and the installer did a great job, I'm very happy how it came out.
Some tricks I picked up, heat the locking strip in a bucket of hot water, soapy water to install it, and on the top corners, use a heat gun to soften still to get it flexible enough. It can be overheated though apparently and melt.
The rubber join was centred, so too the chrome trim:

The old wipers look a bit shagged, and have just have enough splines on the spindles to grip, but not for long.
Looks like my rally sticker covers up the wiped area, so better leave that off till after the rwc I reckon.
Bugger!
 

 I hung both doors back on, having the screen done proper makes it feel like progress has been made, just a bit.

That installer did an awesome job, it looks great! Nice tips on the install too, where did you source the new screen from?

the installer was just a local guy who does alot of rods and old schol stuff.
I got him to source the screen, and the locking strip, I supplied a rare spare rubber.
I figured if it was accidently cracked on installing, it wasnt going to be because i'd supplied a w/s with a fault.
 
Price was $350 all up, although I did give him an old interior mirror I had, Falcon of some sort.
