Default guage mounting

since it looks like the steering column guage cluster deal might not happen, anybody have any good ideas for guage mounting locations?

i can't brig myself to do the a pillar. personal preference.

i was thinking about the ash tray but don't know if a 2 1/16 guage will fit in there. i thought i had seen some guys using this area for n2o pressure guages. ideally i'd like to get 2 guages in there. anybody have any pics or insight?

Beer99C5, i know you have switch panels for that area, any development plans for guages there?

Yes, talk to beer99c5. I made a plate for the ashtray area, but his are better. The boost gauge is glassed in where the cupholder used to be.

Keep in mind I am not a vendor (although a forum Vendor will be getting some samples soon ), and do this more as a hobby...

I sent this one out last month forget who it went too.
