How to mount my gauges......., Looking for your suggesstions Options

[John]

I too am lightening the load this winter. I have gutted my interior of useless weight like the dashbord and virtually everything else. I am wanting to keep the 3 gauge plate with 3 gauges in it.

I am keeping the steering column (for the bearings and the starter/ignition switch).
I am keeping the 911 combo gauge (pressure/temp), a 914 fuel gauge, a Tach.

I am looking for ideas to mount the gauges/3 hole plate.

In other words, please show me what you have done.

I will post some pics Monday evening.

Thanks

I've heard of some top drivers keeping/using the speedometer instead of deleting it...this way you don't have to remember what gear/rpm you are or were in at a particular time and place on the track

Too late. We haven't had a functional speedo for a couple of years. (lost it when we went 915)

People sometimes ask how fast we go, but it is not very relevent. Speed is relative and speedos tend to lie somewhat with different wheel/tire combinations anyway.

It's not too hard to remember which gear you are in for a given position on a track when you have driven a few laps. As far as RPM's go, it should stay pretty consistant. (I don't practice "indexing")

My gauge glances are usually at the beginning or middle of longer straights, not where indexing would be practical.
