Default Mounting guages?

Hey all,

Some of you may recall I have my guages molded into my glovebox. Well, I am very tired of this, and would like a change. My original plan was to send my a-pillar out to Canada to that Compact Divisions guy, but he doesn't respond to his e-mails.

My next options is to mount them on my a-pillar myself. I saw somewhere there are little cups you can buy that you can screw into the pillar and it will hold the guage. Does anyone have any experience using these things?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You try taking your eyes off the road completely to glance over to your right. It gets annoying very quickly.

use some fiberglass. cut some plastic cups out to be a housing for the gauges, tape them down to the a pillar. then glass and resin over them. then sand, primer, paint.

No offense Joe.. while your gages did look cool.. I thought they would be hard to see over there... how about molding them into the centre console? Maybe take out the ashtray or something and put the gages there
