Default Quick I Need Advice On Where To Put My Gauges

I have 2 HKS 60mm gauges and need to find a place to put them. I was thinking of using the greddy stands, but don't know where to mount them. I like my stock gauges where they are and would rather not take them out. Does anyone have pics or ideas they can share? I was thinking about mounting them on the A-pillar, but can't find a 60mm pod. Any ideas? Suggestions are welcome. PM me if you'd like to share pics please...HELP!!

If you do not have NAV, you can get the Reen CF plate and mount them in the NAV cubby hole...

"Ditto!" Didn't mount gauges there, but put the Zeitronix A/F meter there mounted on Reen CF Plate.

You can use an autometer pillar pod. You just have to grind out the holes to fit the 60mm gauges. That's what I'm doing. I have 3 60mm Greddy gauges. I'm picking up the pillar pod tomorrow.

I believe the OEM gauge pod cluster in the dash holds 52mm gauges. When opened, you will find that all three of these displays are connected to one circuit board...so you would have to put three new gauges back in AND loose the mulit-data display altogether.

The nav compartment is a good option for 60mm gauges.

You could have a custom fiberglass fabrication for a couple of pods in the sunglass holder area.

Custom fabrication on the A-pillar. Or the autometer A-pillar works well for much less money.

Two 52mm will fit below the A/C controls...don't know about 60mm...would be tight but maybe.
