I am thinking about installing a 2-1/16'' Autometer Oil Temp gauge into the useless cubby infront of the shifter of my 2002 Camaro SS. Has anyone ever done this or have any pictures. I was going to use black ABS plastic.

 

Here's what I did.




People have used the plates that the convertibles use and put a gauge in that.
Demonbird is one of them. Do a search for posts by him. He recently posted another picture of his setup.

 

I checked out his Photobucket and found this pic.
I'm sure he doesn't mind, he loves whoring out his car.

 

Foud this in his fquick. Do you recomend mechanical or electrical oil temp gauge? Thanks!

 

Here's some pictures of mine - https://ls1tech.com/forums/showpost....10&postcount=1

 

whered u get the plastic?

 

i did that too w/ my autometer wide band. i'll post pics tonight.

 

I originally started with a piece of an old PS2.
Then I molded it in.
In this pic I had major problems with adhesion, as you will see.

 

badass *** pannel snuffles! might have to steel your idea!

 

Mine:

 

were did you get the switches above the radio?

 

I feel so violated, I think I am going to go take a hot shower with my clothes on

I would HIGLY recommend electrical... Mechanical might not even give you a long enough feed.

I used a convertible switch plate for a more factory look... The convertible switch is my bottle opener.

 

Is there anyway to make it so the convertable switch opperate the light of the gauge (on/off) or is it the kind you have to hold down? How much did it cost? Thanks

 

that looks bad ***, i really hate that stupid cubby bullshit. i like how the guages look like the first gen gauges right there next to the shifter, although these are only two gauges compaired to the 4 on first gens, it looks at home there, specially with the white face overlay. definatly going to do that...just need to figure what guages

 

Here is mine that I did awhile ago in my firehawk. Came out well I think

 

Those are fog switches that are wired for the line lock and power antenna.

 

1sicv8: just buy some ABS plastic on ebay, its like 10 bucks for a 12x12 sheet, plenty of letover

 

I bought the convertable switch plate today. Can I use a fog light switch where the old open/close top switch was? BlaSSt, your switches are blank; How?

 

No. They snap in differently...

 

where did yu guys pick up your guys convert plate and switch?
