I am finally putting together a true gauge package on my car. I went with the larger diameter gauges for quick readability. My plan was to install them to the right of the OEM gauge cluster. In order to make them fit I will need to relocate the heater controls lower, and remove the OEM switch panel between the cluster and heater controls. I was hoping to fit them above the heater controls but it just won't work.

I do intend to keep the heater controls functional, as I use them regularly. Does anyone see a problem with this?

Found a picture of something similar (hope you don't mind Bildon). I intend to mount the heater controls either in the bottom of the large flat panel, or where the bottom switch panel is here.
