Ok, so i have 3 gauges to mount, only one prob.. cant mount em in the passengers side as i have an air bag there. any other options? im trying to avoid mounting a pod somewhere as i dont like the idea of bastardising an otherwise nice dash. And yea well, pillar mount is a bit too ricey.

Any suggestions? 3x 2" gauges... where oh where to put them , i did buy a dash mount 3 gauge pod, but its still gonna require screwing it into the dash (probably will cover up centre speaker too) so yea i dunno .. beats me.. any suggestions?

I did mine in the glove box, pretty happy with the install http://www.jzs147.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?t=225&highlight=

I really dont see the need to continuily monitor the gauges.

i was thinking of getting sombody to make me a custom pod to fit in the center speaker slot and follow the lines of the dash so it looks like it belongs there and isnt tacked on.

Hmm, yeah thinking of the glove box too, but still not that sold on it... might make a big panel to replace the wood-esque one that sits below the head unit and mount them in there. dont use my cig ligther anyway.

probably make it out of mdf and wrap it in grey vinyl similar to the stuff on the dash.

Will let uknow how it goes Very Happy
