Default Will a 60mm Guage go in the air vent?

Have a spare Defi BF gauge. Don't fancy an A-Pillar pod.

Was wandering if anyone had or knew if it was possible, to fit it in the vent to the right of the steering wheel??

Much work to get it in there?

Cool

I suppose it depends on what car you have!!

I have 45mm guages fitted in the air vents on my classic and I don't think anything bigger would fit.

However if you have anything bugeye onwards there is a possibilty they will fit all you need to do is measure the hole, I have seen a Spec C with a guage in the airvent but no idea what size guage it was.

If however you have any other car than a scooby I have no idea




more pics of the rest of the car here

Yeah, that lOOks exactly how i wanted it.

It's for a 04 STi (as per my profile )

Do you need to block the air vent or anything? Or just pop the guage in?

No idea mate it is not my car, when I did mine in my classic I blocked off the airvent and sealed it up then fabricated something to mount the guages.

If you go to the url I also posted and scroll down the page untill you get to the english message you can contact Scott directly and ask how he did it.

or if you want to be über lazy you can just click this email address.

Thanks, will do. Still to take the measure to the vent yet.

Would it be easy enough to get someone to fabricate some kind of holding "thingy" to keep the gauge in??
