Default gauge mounts

I have a o1 SS and I just ordered a scan gauge that is 2 1/16. I wanted to avoid the a pillar location...so I was wonder if anyone has put the gauge in the a/c vent? do any companies make a mount that would replace the one vent for a gauge?

Here's mine. I have since covered the metal with some ABS plastic that matches the bezel. The 2 1/16 fits perfect.

Yeah, it's just a peice of metal I cut up and filed down. Painted it satin black and it matches everything half decent.

Here's a pic of mine in an SS:



I recessed mine some into the vent and used an Autometer trim ring to angle the gauge toward the driver's side. Also drilled 6 holes so the vent would still be useful.
