where to mount gauges
 
1 Attachment(s)
hi all i after some opions!
i have a RH Drive FB and i dont think a universal mount will look right without a lot of work so the only other locations i can see are

A) a dash top mount
B) passenger side dash

im defentaly going with oil and water temp and possibly air / fuel at a later date so possibley 3 gauges going in
not that keen on the dash top mounts but all opions welcome!
did a quick Rolf Harris to show where i would mount in the dash, 2 red ones to start with and green for the 3rd (air / fuel) i have another dash so not to worried about going back to stock etc, the dash isn't too thick and theres room behind

Do what makes you happy. Plan looks different than most so that's a good thing creative wise.

You could try fabbing something to put them in the centre vent spaces. They wouldn't be operational anymore, but It would look good, they would be closer to you, so you could see them better. But if you like your original plan I think it looks good.

what ever i do i would like it to be fairly suttle, i have decided on the gauges though i think they are the same as the prosport gauges you have in the us with the warning and peak function
anyone else using these are they any good?

I would try to mount them in your center console if you don`t already have anything there.

I agree with mounting them in the center console of the dash. Thats if you have no radio to go in there. That is where mine are going once I get the gauges.

Yep, I'm in on the center conslole also. You could also make something from the a pillar that would work and be easy to read.
