Gauge Location pics request

[player757]

So after my most recent neglect to my car. ive decided a few more gauges couldn't hurt seeing that i could keep a better eye on engine functions.

im open to ideas for locations too but i would like at least a few pictures to pop up :mbiggrin:

how do you get a cover like that? is it something you buy or make?

[stepintoliquid]

my boost gauge sits in a steering column mounted pod. a/f gauge i mounted where the hazard button used to be. i relocated the hazard button to the other side of the shifter.

I had a DIY, I thought I reposted it but looks like no.
I'll get it up in a week or so.

I actually had mine done so I can't go into details. I always like jimmyjames' better than mine honestly anyway.

The concept isn't that complicated, but it does require a lot of work.

I think if I were to have a full set of gauges, I'd use something like this on top of the dash.

i like when the gauges arent in the direct view of driver. for example in the dash is really cool. i would like to have them angled towards the driver any ideas how to do this. also i like the way the mugen si has the gauges mounted on the passanger side shelf thing under the air bag.

I'll post a DIY next week or something; I have to dig out the old photos since we-todd-did-racing.com took a crap.
I used PVC pipe cut at an angle

it would be interesting to perhaps take aluminum flashing bound into tubes and mold them into the holes so that they could be sticking out at more of an angle towards the driver.
