You could find a factory air gauge cluster from the big trucks. This is what I plan to do.

I made a panel and mounted it in the fold down ash tray, so when not in use you can close it up and never know it is there.

Switches are mounted in the metal part of the dash just below where the factory radio is located. Out of sight but easy to reach when needed.

Old thread revival!

I wanted my gauge somewhere that really wasnt notice (with the doors shut) & didnt require cutting the dash up. So here is where mine is...

I also wanted the switches to be kind of hidden too so this is at the bottom of the seat in the center...
