Looks like it will be really cool when finished ... I did something similar with just my boost gauge and a 12v charger. The back of the gauge just barely fits in, with the hose fitting on the back kind of stuffed over the top of the plastic bracket. One thing you can do if the gauges are a little tight back there is to make the wood a little thicker ... I just beveled the bottom so it would "flow" well into the console wood rather than stick out. I did it with veneered plywood, too, and was pleased with the way it turned out.
Right now I'm about to yank mine back out to redo the finish, which cracked because I used the wrong finish (as well as the rest of the wood).
