Where to mount gauges ?
i bought a air\fuel and volt gauge and i need a place to mount them since there isnt any pods...do you guys have any good ideas on locations ? i can build a housing just need some good ideas on the location. I was thinking of putting it behind the steering wheel but then i cant see the tach and the speedo..any ideas and or pics of previous installs would be great thanks

yeah i tried that...but my gauges are like 2 cm to big so it doesnt fit in the lower pocket. i was thinking of cutting a little out..but its gonna be hard....[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]
are u sure the tach and speedometer will not be visible? one to the left and one to the right (close to gas tank) would be nice and inconspicuous. i'm pretty sure you would still see the tachometer (at least the most important part from ~3k up to redline) and the gas tank needle.
this would look better if there were more than one gauge; that one looks seriously out of place

Im working on mounting mine this week aswell. I bought a 11"x18" piece of finished carbon fiber sheet and made a custom plate for where the little compartment is bellow the head unit. Ill post pics when its done.

Dude, you know what our cars need? Someone to make those console gauge holders. Not the A-pillar ones (although those are very cool, too), but the ones that go to the left of our water temperature gauge and to the right of the gas gauge.
I'd totally buy one.

Give it another 2 or 3 weeks. After companies show off their prototypes at the SEMA show they go on sale soon after. And I know as a fact that Autometer came out with alot of pods for our cars...
