Where to put a gauge besides a-pillar or vent? All I want is a place to put a tranny temp gauge. I don't want to buy an a-pillar for just one. I've been looking for someone that makes the plastic that goes around the gauges with a gauge pod in it like they have for imports and Stangs but to no avail. I was thinking maybe get a cover for the cubby and put it there but i'm afraid it wont fit. Is there any other options out there for just one gauge?

Re: Where to put a gauge besides a-pillar or vent? I got my trans 2 5/8's in the far left A/C vent, thats probably the best place for it, unless you want to do something custom in front of the shifter...with a smaller gauge...

Re: Where to put a gauge besides a-pillar or vent? Well I really don't want to put on in a vent. Is there anything that goes around the steering column or would one fit on the convertable switch cover for the cubby? Anythingggggggg?
Re: Where to put a gauge besides a-pillar or vent? I have been wondering this myself. I made an aluminum panel for my air vent and it looks good there but I want to move it. The part number for the cubby cover is 10280510 in case you wanted to pick one up and try it out. They shoudn't be much at the dealer. Also just curious where are you mounting the sender for the trans temp gauge?

Re: Where to put a gauge besides a-pillar or vent? I have my Trans temp gauge in my cup holder and it looks and fits well. I think it's the perfect spot if you dont want your car to look to close nit. You could also try and put a gauge in that little cubby hole as you call it. I have my A/F there but i had to have a plastic bracket formed so the gauge would fit and the bracket to be mounted. Cost was like 15 bucks so not too bad.
