Guage questions....

chris91LX · 02-02-2001, 02:21 AM

I saw a cool setup with three guages set up in the sapce right below the radio. Does anyone know of a kit for this or who might sell it. I think the setup I saw was custom but it looked cool and I thought it would be a good project to take care of one winter weekend. Also wondering if it is too complicated to run a fuel pressure guage into this setup along with oil temp and something else. I heard it's easier to do with an AOD because there is an open access point in the firewall that is used for the manual T-5. Thanks in advance...

You might try using the A/C bezel from a 91-93 I believe. It has three holes, one for each knob on the A/C and it would probably mount into your dash pretty easily. I would think you could hook up gauges in that easily. You might be able to find a kit. Worst case scenario you would have to have someone cut you a piece of aluminum or something and paint it, but that's no biggie. Good luck.

I do not know if you would like looking that far down to read the gauge.

Just my opinion, but I would not like it.

Good luck!

I'm looking to stay low profile. I don't want all the guages lined up on the dash, on the windshild column or sticking out of the hood. I like the vent bypass setup, but that space below the radio is pretty much useless right now and I thought it would look better than the hole that's there now. The A/C bezel might be a good idea, thanks Mike.

try autometer, they are the ones that make the one for the a/c hole in the dash.
