Additional Gauges (boost, etc.); where did you place them?
« on: January 28, 2014, 01:57:49 AM »
Good Morning!

Where have you placed your additional gauges? I personally don`t like these A-Pillar-Pod-Things, do you have any ideas or suggestions (pics would be sweet) where to place 3 x 52mm gauges in an Opel GT?!

yours,
Napi.

In my old and new Gxps I bought the DDM radio surround which will hold three gauges.

Thank you for the photograps, the Problem is, that I am using adouble-DIN Pioneer radiosystem...

My Idea was to place the gauges on top of the black trim surrounding the A/C knobs.

Yours,

Only other place I've seen aftermarket gauges relocated to is the two center HVAC vents.  It looked OEM, but you did say you were going to use 3.  Tried to find the tread/pics but no luck.

I saw someone on one of the other forums who made a mold for them and placed them on top of the dash so they looked like they were a part of the dash.  I think it was on the sky side.

That 's what I'm thinking about at the moment...
Sadly, the gauges are 52mm each... And the dash is 180mm...
