Got 4 52mm gauges to mount. What do you guys have in your car and how were they mounted?

Mount the oil pressure and temp. Gauges under the dash and put the other 2 on eBay. Happy to help.....

Looking for options Pete. Back in the 70s I'd have a short console on the trans tunnel. I'm trying to de clutter a bit I've added some gauges ad hoc and want to tidy it up.

This part of the dash was already fubar'do & the only tunes will be of the V8 variety.

Check out my Big Hitter thread for where Duncan put the pod mounted gauges........at the end of the day it is all personal taste.........

Looking good.... :thumbright:

Anyone have a pic of Kev's Taxi with it's array of gauges? I especially loved the gaugeometer

Nice pics boys, I remember Guys multi set up. I can't do the dash jobby as it's all steel.
Seems no one has those groovy Ford Cortina style mini consoles with gauges in anymore.

Blue, it's wideband, oil pressure, temp and fuel. Reckon I can use them although a gaugeometer would be the piece de resistance!
