Show us your instrument gauge console

Post by MilesnMiles »

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

Pod mounted or surface 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.

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!
