just wondering if anybody has done this

 

I am going to be trying that with the autometer gauge pod (gonna cut one in half and try to make it look good =/

 

I always thought you could just buy the dual and the single and cut them if needed.

 

possbily, I am also considering installing some on the passenger side A-pillar....but I doubt I'll do that.

 

yep. No pics though sorry.

I prefer the RX-7 specific "mickey mouse" or "corner dash" guage pods like knighsport puts out. You can also put gagues in the 2nd DIN slot below a normal sized radio OR move the AC controls down and put them there.

 

You know...I hae never been a big fan of A-pillar gauges due to the sheer theft temptation.&nbsp I've heard stories of windows being broken just to yank out a stupid gauge.&nbsp I ended up installing a pair of 60mm ones just because I was running out of space.

Now, I run just TWO 60mm gauges staggered on the A-piller.&nbsp The multi-gauge look down your A-piller might look "cool" for you, but it's a major pain in the *** for me.&nbsp You see, what I'm cimplaining about is my eyes having to refocus to the gauges at the top of the A-pillar.&nbsp You eyes have a normal focus length that works primarily from the dashboard and farther.&nbsp I dunno if it's just me in my old age, but it takes a split second for my eyes to readjust to a gauge that's only 4-6" inches closer to me.&nbsp I don't even what to see a TRIPLE gauge install that ends up putting one guage literally 12" from your face!

Daily driving might be a non-issue, but if I'm pushing up to triple digit speeds, this becomes a big factor...

sort of... but my 3rd one is futher away

I made a mount right above the triangle vent.

 

I have the Autometer dual and single on my A-pillar. Of course, this is a snap on my vert!!

 

I got the dual this week for my EGT/oil pressure. I'd rather not mount them on the A-pillar as well but I don't have many other options right now...Blitz has a line of gauges that mount with pivots and suction cups to your windshield (looks really mean at the far left bottom of your windshield) but I believe the guages themselves are really expensive, like HKS expensive and 300+ for a gauge is really questionable (although I LOOOOVE HKS stuff). I went with GReddy, and was forced to spend more since the only orange LED EGT they sell is 60mm and peak hold AND 195 bux!! People with green interior lights have it easier (albeit not as stylish)

 

They universal mounts at summitracing.com. I plan to use one for a boost gauge on top of the steering column.
