Ah yes, those gauges look much better ;-) Nothing like an original Volvo radio/cassette player, to make the interior look complete ...

I didn't realise your 340 is a 4 speed :)

Loving the gauges, did you drill the holes in the gear stick surround like it says to on the blue leaflet and fit the metal clips? I didn't bother to and was wondering if it shakes while driving along?

I have not installed definitivelly them, just I did a photo to look like. because I am try to find the motor oil thermometer to assembling the 3 gauges in accessory instead of just assembled the Voltimeter and motor oil pressure.

Nice find :)

All looks to be in good condition except for one reflector isn't the best. But if it is a oroblem then rechroming it will fix it.

Yes, some mountain and water side regions have lots of fog some mouth of the year, but of course less than in northern europe :lol:
