under radio guage install help

Anybody have some good pictures of the guage pod that gos under the switch panel, right behind the cigerete lighter outlet??
I got one of a member here and i set it in there and it just doesnt seem to fit right.. the back corners just seem to fit wrong.. when i know its sitting in there right...

Does anybody have some detailed p[ictures, of maybe the sides? or any install tips on this...

thanks

Here's a picture of the gauge package installed. I'm trying to find the official instructions from MINI, and will post a link here if I find them.

EDIT - found them here.

I never actually screwed my guage housing down. It is still just sort of tossed under there. It doesn't go anywhere though and I've gotten used to their angle.

thanks for the installation instructions!
I pretty much figured out where it gos and I thought correctly about the angle etc.. but does the corner of the two sides (on the back of the gauge mount) stick out on either side of the tray? it doesnt look that great....
Anybody have a picture from the side??

hmmm
I have mine just layin in there and its not going anywhere either... its just it doesnt look right on the side... weird
