Help w/ gauge panel/mounting!!
Help w/ gauge panel/mounting!! Well I have been searching on here and found all sorts of mounting locations accept for the one I am searching for I want to mount a gauge right next to the TCS button on the Trans Am which is front of the shifter. Will a gauge fit here or no? Does any body know if there is a pre-made panel or am I on my own for making a hole/mounting it there by my self. Heres a pic of where if any body is confused.
Beer99c5 (member on this site) did an amazing job on mine! I got a panel made for a single gauge, but I have scene some of his panels with as much as you could possible need in there. Send him a PM and I’m sure he can get what you need done.
There's something else in the works though that I'm hoping will be a bigger hit and will be cheaper to reproduce.

thanks! But seriously getting a mold for your bezel would most definitely be worth the time/money.
You would cut a hole large enough to fit the gauge but not large enough where the bezel would fit through.
It seems you're looking at 2 1/16" (52mm) gauges. I mounted 2 1/16" gauges and had a 2" hole saw so I used that then Dremel'd (Did I just make up a word?) the rest.
The way the Autometer should mount is simple.
Autometer uses brackets that are rather low-profile and fit well.
Check out the Autometer site to see what I mean, here.
I also found a pic on Flickr to show how they mount, although the pic is quite complicated because he had to fab his own bracket
but I emphasized the bracket with red arrows,
Hope that helps.
Now that I got the gauge in person, and saw it I saw that ring, and that what I was figuring use a 2" holesaw and dremel as needed. And now that I saw the bracket the autometer came with it all makes sense. =) Now just to get a deep pan.
