Title: Rainy Day................
Post by: Teighto on June 29, 2007, 01:21:34 PM
Right its been peeing down here since i woke up this morning, so im sat here
looking at 4 gauges i have bought and not fitted !!

I got Some Smoked/Electrical Autometer Gauges all 52mm!!  Look Quite nice!!
Boost - this ive already decided i want in the A Pillar so need one of these (any suggestions?)
Water Temp
Oil Temp
Oil Pressure

I was thinking about Mounting them in the centre Console below stereo but think that is to low??  thoughts ?

I also Thought about designing a Pod to sit in the Middle Air vent Thing ??

Any ideas how to get this out so i can have a play around ??

also anyone used this Middle vent to mount gauges ??

Also any other DIY\'ers what stuff did you use to mount the Gauges in ??  what sort of pipe ! 90 degree bends !!

Pic\'s would be great !!

Picking the motor up from carl\'s later... shame it\'s wet, will seriously limit the play potential until I\'ve learnt to drive it again!

I have my gauges mounted in the bottom DIN slot, its looks good but I do find it too low for the boost gauge that you need to look at when taking off. I was tempted to buy two more gauges, have the boost and another in the speaker pod and another to replace the boost at the bottom.

All my gauges are above my steering colum: one RE:A colum mount & my twin rotor pod with my power FC along side, so prety much everything is at eye level!!!
