Hey, Guys,
Starting in on a few very simple upgrades on my 87 951. I have put a boost gauge in the car and am looking to mount it where it is easily viewable while driving. I thought I saw a site that was selling an a pillar kit for 2 gauges, just can't find that site again.
So, any ideas on mounting? Figure there are a few of you out there who have mounted a boost gauge some place other than the cubbie under the radio.
Thanks,
Dale

this should get you started.

The pillar pod is the perfect place for you boost guage and AFR meter, preferrably a wide band. A slight glance over while heading down the straights. I would not want guages in the cubby, too low, wrong angle, and if driving into the sun you can't even see down there.

Hey, Guys,
Thanks for the quick reply!!! I have missed the list the last 18 months. Fighting to keep my marriage of 20 yrs alive. Too bad she decided falling in love with the married pastor was a worthy thing.

You can also try LoTek

I had one for a while but sold it (just not my style). Good quality product though.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that, and welcome back to the list. We won't leave you for a pastor, I promise.

Hey, Guys,
All I ask is be patient with me. I'll be asking numerous dumb questions over the next year or two.
Thanks!!!!

As far as I'm concerned the only dumb question is the one you don't ask...

LFA951

LR Pillar Pod is way over priced, just get an Auto Meter universal mounting kit for $14.99 and mount it wherever you want like I did, best spot for it!

I found my dual pillar pod to be in just the wrong place on certain decending left hand corners. So if you plan on doing any track time, I would think about that location a bit. I never noticed a problem until I was in the helmet on the track. It isn't so in the way that I would make the effort to move it.

For the street, you can't beat the visibilty of that location.

LFA951

True that, it's the best location for it's pupose, the Pods are mostly for showing off and for looks other cars to see...

Thats one reason why I don't want to do the a-pillar pods - that other cars will be able to see the gauges. I know people have done it (KuHL951 being one), but does anyone have pics of how to mount a boost gauge on top of the steering column?

dneid

Now, the steering column idea I like. That is where I mounted my tach on my old 65 stang in hi school. Of course a large diameter steering wheel, but the tach was right there where I could see it just fine.
LFA, I like your install as well. I am not as concerned with looks as I am with functionality with this gauge.
Thanks, All.... great to be back and even greater to have the little red lady back on the road!! So much fun to drive..
