hi, i am just wondering some ideas of where to mount some oil pressure and temp gauge..
its 60mm in diameters.
i was first thinking about the alta gauge pod, however after emailing them they say that it only works in left hand drive models. (im in australia so its RHD)
so now i am thinking of some ideas of how to mount those gauges.....
also, i do not wish to drill any holes in my car or dash....

anyone with some ideas?
thanks for feedback

i think they are difference size that wouldn't fit 60mm?
since i am not getting brand new ones, instead its from my brother who doesn't uses his anymore.
i remember seeing in somewhere else that they are 52mm right?
if they do fit i guess i will just put it there as well.

Yeah, those are 2-1/16" gauges (52 mm).

i actually have the guages right here, just haven't put them in. I do not want to put them in front of the cubby hole, as i love that space. And the guage pod's are just so expensive. Any other ideas (other than eliminating the ac ooutlets, i didnt like that either)?

I have seen pics of someone who mounted their gauges in the cupholder positions facing up. I am pretty sure that you could fit your 60mm sized gauges in this location. You probably could enlarge the openings on the mini part # (center console shown in pics above) to accomodate the larger 60mm gauges. I think the cupholder option looks a bit strange tho...IMO
