Odd question but I am looking for any ideas for mounting the 3 gauges normally used in the center console of the appearance package models. I have a 73 2.0 that is nearing a full restoration and I’m not running carpets or back pad (show condition painted interior) for a more spartan look. I was originally interested in the carbon dimensions console but I don’t think they are in business any longer. Any cool ideas, pics or suggestions for mounting the 3 gauges would be welcome.

I like the letterbox. I have an old crappy one. Then i used the VDO 2 hole brackets.
I really like the PLX A/F gauge.... I can't find them anymore. I want one for my VW bus. It has a Bluetooth and I put an app on my phone. So i don't need the gauge anymore. It also feeds the voltage too. I got a 3D printed ashtray replacement with a "vent" mount for those magnetic holders.... You can kinda see my holder in the top center of the pic. I mounted the gauge holders at a very slight angle, toward the driver.... the rear window reflects in and pretty much blocks out my readings.... so the angle helps.  |
