Hi All,
Was snooping around youtube ( after looking at the Pikes Peak post ) and saw a video of a 914 that has me interested. In the ashtray area there are some gauges mounted. As my next job is to put oil temp and pressures gauges in, this looks pretty cool to me. I dont have a console and have the radio in an underdash housing , so cant use a normal 2 gauge plate mount in the centre ( and dont really want to either ) My question is, has anyone done this, and did it involve any cutting. I dont want to do anything i couldnt pull out again later if i wanted. The video for anyone interested is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTO7JVt8FZE Cheers Dale Attached image(s)

QUOTE(Black22 @ Jul 6 2013, 10:04 AM)  I love my ashtray mounted gauges. I just wish they were angled towards the driver slightly for a more accurate reading at a glance. Other than that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) ! I think your gauges look great the way they are mounted. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Thanks to mepstein for posting the link to rennenmetal; I found the ashtray bracket on the first page. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I was thinking of removing my clock to make space for an oil pressure gauge, but this looks like a much better alternative. |
