i think you should fabricate guage pods to replace the sock dummy liiiights and the surround, that would be awesome, and a great place to put your gauges.

there's the guy selling a radio surround with guague pods made out of polished aluminum. I'd recommend what the japanese do. Make a console that goes in the logicon hole, but allows you to still see the logicons warning lights.

The "best / cleanest" look is getting those really tiny/sleak single guague holders that clamp to the dash. Just line then up right behind the console and they look awesome. Plus they don't get in your line of sight like the A arm pods do.

I'm looking for pictures of people putting a gauge where the heater control is located. I need to install 3 gauges, SAFC and prob my deck in the console.

Hi thanks for the pictures

Have you though of relocating the Heatercontrol panel to the glove box? or somewhere else?

I wanted to do something similar. I was thinking about moving the HVAC controls below the radio, blocking off the front center vents and putting 3 60mm gauges, my timer, and my data logging box in that spot.........but I don't think there's enough room. The (3) 60mm gauges will not fit straight across, they have to be staggered and that leaves very little room for the other equipment. I'm searching for new ideas.........
