Where do i mount my gauges??!!!!!

[ted]

Hi all,

I need abit of help/ideas to mount my boost,oil pressure,shift light and volts gauge i have no idea where to mount them i dont want them in my line of sight i drive an m21 proton, so if anyone has any ideas feel free to show or share!!.

I was of the same opinion as you, didn't want them in my line of sight.
Bought a din 52mm gauge holder and whacked them in the spare pocket

Firstly nice dash!!! clean as!!! And secondly i was going to use that provisin for switches (auto trans overdrive, nitrous arming and boost control) and i sort of want the gauges a little higher i might run my boost gauge up high and my others were yours are fitted.

J pull out the air con & heater box to remove more weight. Gauges can be under your vents.
This is my dual 12v hair dryer for a CC demister/heater.

Cheers !

Aldo thats ghetto and awesome!!!! cars going to have no aircon but heater is staying and yeah thinking maybe deano's is the way to go! did you get my pm on evocoupe aldo?

Jesse- check out Jacobs(JCevo1) my ride thread... If he still has the original pics at the start- he had the guages mounted where the vents(replaced them with guages)are in centre and it looked awesome... If your not using the aircon no need for the top vents anyway...
If I remember correctly he was trying to sell the setup a while back, not sure if they sold or not??

Thanks mate,
Mine's a streeter so want to retain my air con and vents, it sounds like you want a little bit extra out of your car Where Mike's put his would be your best option after some custom fibreglassing.
I have my boost gauge on my a-pillar.

I plan on keeping mine a streeter im just going to live with out aircon (not enough room for go fast bits haha) Id like some ridiculous quarter time out of it eventually hahaha thanks again gents!!!

Mine is a streeter (when its finaly on the road), i already have 2 vents in the dash, dont need more than that lol

I've got mine set-up the same as Deans.

But can see your point about having at least the boost gauge a bit closer to your line of sight; maybe try mounting one gauge on the steering column - there a single & double gauge holders on ebay to suit which I am going to go for.

 

[cheeks]

I did mine the same as dean's as well.



I have my wideband and boost gauges in a twin pod on the pillar and the eboost on a custom mount to the right of the steering wheel
