Hey all.

In process of buying some gauges at the mo.

I was going to fit the 3 gauges on my a piller, but having trouble getting hold of one. I'm looking at 52mm Prosprt gauges.

Now speaking to a garage which is going to fit them, they didn't highly reccommend using a triple gauge mount.

Problems being the weight of gauges being to heavy. And problems could occur with visability at night with the light and could be seen as a problem for mot by interferring with line of sight.

I'm not keen on having the dash mount style.

I want to have my boost gauge on the a pillar which would mean I'll need a third gauge to fill up the dash mount.

I'm only wanting Boost, Oil Temp and Oil Pressure. So I'm thinking I'll get a double a pillar mount and fit the third gauge on my steering coloum. Now would you reccomend that and how would I go about it. So it don't look tacky.

This has been a ongoing thing for me really as I want to make sure I can get them properly fitted before I go ahead lol.

If I did have to get a fourth gauge to fill the dash mount which would be best and where would sender go.

 

Fuel pressure is a personal favourite....

dunx

 

Ok if I was to fit a Fuel pressure, I'm gussing the sender would fit on my fuel pump or something.

 

my triple pillar pod came with the gauges second hand, keeps them quite low down the pillar, stuck the fuel press. in the air vent

 

Would you say it causes any problems with visabilty and such.

 

KingTiger: what car are these going on?

PS: the "line of sight" for MoT is just so much b/s.

 

i don't notice any, i guess i might move my head about a bit more but they don't stick out as far as you'd think....

 

Oh sorry it would help lol

It's a MY99 STI V5.

 

If you want another gauge then water temp is a good one to have, as the dash one isn't that informative.

 

A pal of mine moved his pair as he felt there was a problem, Seat Ibiza....

dunx

 

If i was to fit a water temp gauge would that tap into the water temp lines or something.
