Installing gauge on lower half of steering column?
Hey all,
I just got two gauges installed(boost/oil temp) by a friend of mine within the past 3 weeks and all of the sudden I'm gauge crazy Long story short I'm definitely thinking of adding two more(oil press/fuel press) but was thinking I'd like to add one more in the future(volt). Anyhow, since I've been thinking about this and where to mount the rest(I have the cravenspeed flexpod) Ive been doing some searching for options and I came across a picture of an option that I can't seem to find. The poster had a picture of two of his gauges that seemed to have been extensions off the steering column which were actually located on the lower end(not near the tach) beneath the turn signal and headlight switches(?). Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about or direct me to the picture? Help!

^^ that but basically the gauges go on the opposite end, under the steering column. I've never seen something like that. I have my gauges installed on the top of the column. Are you able to contact the poster who posted up that picture you saw? Maybe it was a custom thing.

You could do that under gauge with a pair of these:

Just take the two halves of the steering column shroud off and these bolt on from the back size so there is no visible hardware and a secure fit.

Cool, I hadn't thought to use them like that before but it would definitely work. You'd be able to put them wherever you wanted.
