Where to put gauges
wacked1 - August 21st, 2004 at 11:00 PM

here is a pic of my gauges I’ve got for the bus just deciding where to put them
Option 1 around the steering column
Option 2 just off to the left under the dash facing me.
Tell us what you think
See you soon

in an arc under the dash facing you. make up a mockup and make sure they're not at any angle, cos it tends to make them hard to read and inaccurate. mmm gauges...

What Peter suggested sounds cool. OR I would go with in dash, perhaps where the standard radio goes. Or you could make a pod out of fibreglass to go ontop of the dash, check out the Nissan 350Z, it has this set-up and it's fantastic to read.
