Double pod pillar/custom gauge?

I have a double pod pillar. Need yet another gauge inside the car. I need it on the drivers side, visible when Im driving. I dont want to be leaning over, looking down in my lap practically to see how lean or rich my car is running. Where is a good place to install, and what do I need to install it there. Do they made a pod where you can just double side sticky tape it to damn near anwywhere?


Thanks,
blackgloves

Ive thought about getting a single pod and adding it to the pillar with my double. Then right above the radio, is a spot, but im not sure. What about the dash? Do they sell a pod holder where I could mount it to the dash or how does that work?

How do you install a single gauge anywhere in a car? I need some sort of bracket or something

I have a triple pod in my 86. Seems easy because only one place to look, but if you want other options I have seen guagues in the ash tray and in the center heater/air vent over the radio. Lot's of options, just depends on you.

Yeah I want it over the radio. Im runnig boost, so its not to terrbily bad to have it somewhere other than the A-pillar.

My real question now is. HOW DO I GET ONE INSTALLED THERE? Gauges just come bare, with nothing to set it in. I need some sort of braket or something. It can not look tacky.
