Get a cowl hood and put them in the opening. Or..What if you were to get a tripple gauge pod and then mount the fourth on the dash under the lowest of the others? Or what about a custom pod down where the cig lighter is.
Just some thoughts.

i was just thinking wouldnt it work if u just turned the gauge holder sideways and mounted it on the side of the center counsil that holds the radio and heater? another thought. i thought i had seen a pic of that similar set up in someones car on this board.

well i was thinking about this, if you don't mind losing your AC vents in the middle I think you can customize something there to fit at least one guage. Then you can just then get the triple pod for the a pillar.
