I know this will sound really redneck...but I took a piece of 2" PVC pipe and cut it about 3-4" long with one end cut at a 50 degree angle and will try and put them on each side of the dash beside the instrumen cluster surround. The 2" autometer gauges fit inside the pipe tight, I just gotta figure out how to mount them to the dash and paint them black.

Don't mind the tape, I'm just getting ideas for a place to mount them, but this is sorta what I had in mind...

Hmm, I think you're on to something there. Keep us updated.

That is not half as ghetto as we tend to see around here. Go on.
Also like the quote in your signature. Where is it from?

Not half bad. If the gauges are too tight, you could use a boring bar to increase the inside bore a few thousandths...if you have any access to a milling machine.....as for attaching them, epoxy FTW, theres just no turning back tho.

I was thinking of epoxy for attaching a bracket to the bottom inside, so you could screw it down with a long screw driver.

I think my next step is gonna be to remove the instrument cluster hood/surround and see how much I can resess these pipes into the sides of the hood and possibly find a better attachment point instead of screwing into the dash pad.

you should be able to drill a hole in the PVC pipe and use a 1/4" or so allen screw. If the allen wrench doesn't fit, buy a cheapo set at the hardware store and cut some of the short side off.

Time to reawaken an old thread. I will be installing an ATI epod gauge with a dual monitor boost/wideband gauge soon and was wondering how hard it is going to be to wire the gauge through the steering column for a noob with no wiring experience doing his first gauge install.

Steering column should be pretty easy. It comes completely apart with three screws.

I want to know what ever happened with those PVC pipes!
