Post your gauge mounting!! Reply #17 – October 27, 2005, 03:16:34 PM I do for sure...I hacked up an old TC cluster and just reused the turn signals, high beam indicator, brake light, and seat belt light.Wiring...that was not fun: Quote Selected

Post your gauge mounting!! Reply #19 – October 27, 2005, 05:15:51 PM I imagine the wiring for that gauge setup did suck...hell the wiring for my 3 gauge panel was worse than I expected. When you have 4 or 5 wires per gauge, you end up with a whole lotta freakin wires to run. Quote Selected
Post your gauge mounting!! Reply #20 – October 27, 2005, 05:51:57 PM Bet you wernt able to put the clear plastic from the old gauges over the new gauges were ya. I have been working on a way to get the gauges to mount so I can still have that plastic over the top but its been a little difficult. I have just been too busy having fun with BOOST:D One of these days I will have to finish mine because Autometer gauges look sweet. Quote Selected

Reply #22 – October 27, 2005, 07:48:57 PM QuoteBet you wernt able to put the clear plastic from the old gauges over the new gauges were ya.Nope, won't work...even if it did, there'd be a hole in the plastic somewhere that you just can't cover up. :) I don't know why but it seems like that plastic just attracts the dust anyway, with static electricity. Even in a convertible I've cleaned the gauges way less with them out in the open, than with the stock/buttstuffog gauges behind acrylic. Quote Selected

I maintained all the factory warning lights, hi-beam indicator and turn signal indicators. The only difference really between Eric and my setup is the amount of gauges. I did a mock up first with 6 gauges like Eric did but I guess because of my height (6' 3") and my preferred seating position, no matter how I positioned them I couldn't see the two upper gauges as they would be blocked by the steering wheel so I went with 4 instead.Quote from: EricCoolCats I don't know why but it seems like that plastic just attracts the dust anyway, with static electricity. Even in a convertible I've cleaned the gauges way less with them out in the open, than with the stock/buttstuffog gauges behind acrylic. I've noticed the same thing.....it keeps very clean compared to when the plastic cover was there. Quote Selected
Post your gauge mounting!! Reply #25 – October 28, 2005, 09:23:20 AM Glen, I'm 6'0" and have a hard time seeing the gauges too, even the stock ones. I kept monkeying around with ideas for the new gauges and was going to do what you did. Then it hit me: countersink the bottom two gauges. That allowed me to keep the stock configuration, and all the new gauges in their same places, and still see them all. Even though I have to slightly stoop a little to see the top gauges behind the wheel, I'm happy that I did what I did. Just had to be a little patient with the Dremel tool. I love your setup though. Very clean and straightforward with nothing to obscure your view. Cool. Quote Selected
Post your gauge mounting!! Reply #26 – October 28, 2005, 09:26:49 AM I say.. Kudos to the both of ya. Same ideas, Different execution and they both ended up looking great. Quote Selected

Post your gauge mounting!! Reply #29 – November 04, 2005, 01:09:48 PM For you guys with the pillar pods, what part # did you use, or where did you get them? I am considering using one for my guages. I have seen some on e-bay and in summit but I wasn't sure which ones worked best for our cars. Thanks, jason Quote Selected
