Default Cowl mounted FP gauge

Could someone give me info on cowl mounted fuel pressure gauge? Where is it mounted, how is it mounted, and how to tap into fuel system? I'm in the prosses of installing Fast rails and was going to run gauge on fuel rail but then how can you see it under WOT. Does anyone do this or do they just shell out $200 for electric gauge and mount inside? Pics would be great. Thanks.

I was thinking getting a cowl hood and mounting a mechanical Fuel Pressure, Oil Pressure and Water Temp at the rear of the raised portion of the hood, so they could be visible from inside the cabin. A bracket could be fabricated fairly easily so the gauges would remain stationary when the hood is raised.

Nobody knows nothing about this? I know that i have heard it mentioned before about a fuel pressure gauge on the cowl, but have never seen it. Where do you guys put them, or does everyone have electric gauges mounted inside?

Instructions wouldn't help me much, I have a SS and don't ever plan on installing a cowl hood. Good try though
