Default Gauges, where did you put them?

Bought one of those gauges. Is there a single pod A-pillar gauge holder? Is there another interesting spot to put this gauge?

I mounted mine in the dash vent. I bought the mounting ring from Speed Inc. I mainly use it for the shift light function but once I get a bottle on the car it will be great for displaying bottle pressure with the auxiliary input.



In a Camaro I would mount in it in one of the center vents. Great visibility that way.

I made it out of ABS plastic, its a ton cheaper than buying it from somewhere. I found a sheet of ABS plastic on ebay and cut it to fit exactly where the mounts for the little cup that used to be there. Its completely reversible.
