Question Temp Gauge Placement

Any ideas where to mount a temp gauge? I don't want a pod on the a-pillar since I already have the Pettit boost gauge there. The boost gauge doesn't require a pod it's bolted to the a-pillar directly.

I remember seeing where someone mounted the gauge on the CD storage panel. Can anyone provide me with the link?

I dont have the link but its the Saab guage panel you are looking for P/N 0273235, I had to wait a week to get one.It does fit were the cd slot is I have a R2 so I had to remove the slot and insert the guage panel.It fits great and looks like a factory part , right know I have a digital temp guage, SPI boost guage and I will be installing a digital oil temp guage.I think these are the most important guages to have.

Cool

Ditto the SAAB gauge panel. I have it installed with a/f, fuel pressure, and water temp. Works great, and look stock.

Gauge Panel

Julio,

Could you give me more info on this. I would like to mount an A/F meter and water temp gauge where the CD player hole is (I have an R1).

Thanks!

Call your local Saab dealership and ask them for part # 0273235, it should be something like $14.00
