Im getting my auto-meter watertemp in this weekend, I tell all my freinds to get a seperate gauge for water/oil etc.. I dont trust the dash as far as i can throw it :)

I want real number readings not lines.

Post it up when your done, im looking for ideas where to mount them

Jeez its gauge heaven, you would be better off getting something custom made up to hold those other 2 smaller gauges like under the stereo

I found this article for a good DIY gauge holder solution, click here. it utilises the pocket under the stereo in the VN-VS dash fascia. Might attempt it myself now as reckless motorsport have a range of Speco gauges at pretty good prices and might see if they can throw me a deal. Im only looking at getting temp and volts ATM but the gauge holder will have room for 3x 2" as i plan to get a oil pressure later on because a suitable T-Peice will need to be sourced so the factory oil pressure light still works.
