I'm about 90% sure I'm gonna use the Saab gauge mount for water temp., fuel press., and EGT once I get all tuned up and put all my engine guts back in.

Who all has mounted the Saab piece and do you have any pics? I'd love to see how they came out.

I've got one I never used, still in the SAAB packaging. $10 to your door.

Daniel,

Do you have PayPal? If so, you've got yourself a deal. Otherwise, I'll let you know in a coupla days when I get paid (yeah, it's that bad ).

Oh yeah, if anyone has pics of the housing (and gauges) mounted, I'd still love to see the setup.

Daniel, what made you decide not to do it?

I ended up with a Power FC with commander, and it displays up to 8 readings at a time (though very hard to read on the tiny screen, hehe), so the only thing I need present at all times now is just a boost guage. Thought it would look funny (and be a waste of space) with just one gauge in the DIN mount, so going with a single pillar mount.

E-mail me with your info. I am Paypal Verified.

Ltr!

I have that setup. Works great! Here is a short writeup:http://www.geocities.com/nathan356/mycargauges.html

Nathan,

Thanks man! How much time did it take you to get everything hooked up, fitted into the Saab mount and then back in the dash?

Well Mazdatrix wired up the gauges for the first HKS mount, so when it came time to switch to the Saab panel, all I had to do was unhook all the wires, remove the old mount, then mount up the new panel, and reattach the wires. All in all it took about 2 hours, but nothing was difficult. The main thing that was time consuming was filing down the tabs so it would attach properly (I also did some minor filing on the plastic rim of the dash itself), as well as figuring out a good way to get the gauges to attach to the panel. Since the panel is just a plastic slab, there needs to be some kind of mount from the back of the panel. It happens my boost gauge has just such a mount that screws in from the back, and the H20 gauge did as well. The mount for the H20 gauge wouldn't fit properly in the dash (too wide), and the J&S had no provision for mounting. Both of these are now attached by friction using some electrical tape wrapped around the rim. This is a good setup because I can remove them by pulling, yet they stay in place otherwise.

At least a general year/model/trim would be good
