Re: Mounting of gauges??
I don't have ac/heat, so I put mine in the controller area. The pic below doesn't show the metal plate that's now there, so I'll get a pic of it once it's painted to match the rest of the dash. I plan to put them in the console later though because I do want ac when the budget allows.

Re: Mounting of gauges??
if you have needle gauges you'll want to mount them out of line-of-sight when your looking thru the windsheild. I know it bothers me to see the needles bouncing when Im crusing down the road when they are mounted in the a-pillar or the like.
Mine are mounted down low in a center console. Works really well. |

Re: Mounting of gauges??
This is my guage for now. Its just for overall system pressure. I will have a switch on either side of the guage.
