Arrow Gauges in vents on 4th gen TAs?

I'll be putting a gauge in 1 of my vents shortly. Just wondering if there's any tips & tricks I should know.

Also did you guys that have done this do anything to block airflow to the gauge?

I shoved a rag in the vent, and used stick on foam around the outside of the gauge to "snug" it up a bit and keep it in place. There's really nothing to it, just pop out the old vent and slide the gauge in.

I just left my vent open. Also I took some elctrical tape and kept rapping it around the gauge until it fit snug. Never have had a problem with it.

I second the stick on foam. My gauges dont move at all. Also, be careful trying to pop the vents out.......I cracked one
