Hi!

About to buy some gauges (water temp, fuel pressure, vac) and I am torn on where to locate them. The locations I am looking at are on the A Pillar with one of those pillar pods, or Possibly the cowl outside the car between the hood and the windshield - either behind the 4" cowl or off to the drivers side. I am open to other ideas, opinions wanted - If you have one of these set ups, please post pics!! Car pic included for reference..

My Car:


Idea 1 - A Pillar




Idea 2 - Cowl panel off to the side (I admit I dont know that theres enough space)



Idea 3 - In cowl - hardest, would require modifying the hood as there is currently a panel filling the cowl opening with holes drilled in it

 

mounted mine on the A-pillar. I'm not a fan of cowl mounting gauges unless the owner is really wanting to preserve the interior. Still finishing my interior in this car:

 

Question: Where would you mount gauges?

Answer: I put gages in the gage panel.

 

Somehow, I just knew that response was coming

 

Who's car is that? I am wondering how in the world they made that bezel on the dash.

 

Id skip the vacuum gauge unless you feel that your application absolutely requires it.

my last car had two gauges mounted in a custom made pod that was mounted under the center A/C vents. I sold it a few years back but I didnt make another one for my current car but have decided not to install it. Im still undecided if I want to sell it. Let me try and find pics of it.
