I have added a CHT and OP gauge to my car (the 2" or so diameter ones). Since resurrecting the car, I have just had them wedged into the old DIN radio slot. It works, but its fugly. My car never had a console, and I never put the cubby box back in. I kinda like it all open.
I am looking for ideas as to where to do a permanent mount for them. Since I am not running a radio, I suppose I could put a new piece in the radio location that is cut for the gauges. I am not a fan of the metal under dash mounts, and the A-pillar mounts are a bit boy racer to my tastes. I have seen the ashtray mount trick, and am not wild about it either. Anyone got any other creative ideas for where I could locate a couple gauges? Oh, and I MIGHT ad and Oil temp gauge while at it. |

In the gauge panel is the best:
Either add a quad-gauge or add a triple gauge and get a tech with a fuel gauge inset (like a turbo boost gauge) Granted, these cost $$, but they look GREAT! |
