Additional Gauges

Recommended Posts

mak

'Where to put my gauges?' seems to be a common question, and people have come up with some pretty funky solutions.

 

Mine was to try and make a better use of the coin tray, putting the gauges nicely in the line of sight for the driver and not having to loose or repleace any of the other controls/luxuries (such as air vents or radio).

 

The gauges are connected to a spare insturment panel lighting resistor, the one under the steering wheel, so that I can turn their lights down to stop them reflecting of off the windsreen.

 

Not the easiest place to wire them in, but I'm pleased with the result.

NIce!:) I have a similar set-up with those swivel pods under my steering wheel on the centre console.

Anyone tried pillar pods for the gauges?

This was one of the solutions I was looking at.

 

From inside the car they look good, but from outside they are butt ugly! The pods are huge and stick out a mile looking at the car from the front, hence why I went for the harder option.

And you cybernck old boy, have not updated the rules :lol:

 

Posting pics:

 

- users with "Pitcrew" and above user levels are able to upload pics, while others
