I'm thinking of making a simple L bracket that will bolt to the top of the center tunnel on the floor. Or, just under the dash would be great but I'd prefer some kind of bracket that pushes it out from under without cutting the pad. I can then tie it in to my future touch screen display install.

I was hoping to have orderd today everything, but am still waiting on 3 payments. Being the impatient guy that I am.... I went ahead and figured out that the gauges would take about 2 weeks to ship out, and the sensors would take less time, so..

I went ahead and orderd the gauges today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) and I am now hoping to have payment from the last 3 people by friday. That way I will not have to lay out any cash (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) and we will get the gauges and sensors at the same time.

Long story short.

I am hoping to have everything to me and ready to ship to you in two weeks

It mounts from behind, using screws at the corners from the front.
The round lip on the front face is what centers it in the hole in your panel.

I was thinking just right of the Emergency Flasher switch. I know the fuse panel is behind there. I just don't like the idea of hacking up the console.

In the hole that the previous owner drilled for an EGT gauge right in the factory dash. The hole is already appropriately sized.. This was a race car for 4 decades and its an outlaw, so I am not concerned.

This is the same housing. MGL uses this housing for about 15 different instruments -- same display, same case, different guts.

Wouldn't you have to hack up the dash to make this work?

"Hacking up" the console face is no big -- easy to make a replacement face, it's just 1/8" plywood with padded vinyl over it.

Rich

What I meant was that unless all three guages on the console were the same diameter, it might look a little odd. Just thinking out loud. Won't know until I get the guage and the console.

Good Find, I think I can work with that somehow But I want the single or double and it looks like they only have the triple.

I am not so sure this square face gauge would fit a mount like this, and if it did im not so sure how it would look. Looks very cool though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
