Just wondering if anyone has had success doing a mount like this with an airbag wheel? I was going to remove the airbag wheel in favor of a aftermarket but am still undecided. I have a bunch of gauges i need to mount in the car and i do not want to go with an a-pillar pod as i really dislike the obstruction and how visible they are outside of the car. What i was going to do is mount an EGT and a digital combo water/oil temp gauge from SPA under the radio in the DIN slot and probably the boost controller ****. And i was hoping to mount the Innovate wideband display and a boost gauge on the steering column. Im not worried about fabricating a bracket, but wondering if its possible to do with the different airbag wheel and column switches.
hmmmmmm - Now that I think about it the airbag Car it was tested was a race car and had an aftermarket non air bag wheel. Sorry, not much help after all

I am thinking the same basic design will work, but i will have to space the gauges out a few inches farther. The airbag wheel has a pretty large rectangular back area, while the non airbag wheels just have a pretty slim cylindrical column. Im sure i can figure something out, especially since you have a very solid basic design which i can work off of. Anyway it should be an interesting couple of afternoons when i get to making one. I sense the dremel, arc welder and grinding wheel will get a fair amount of use. I can even raise them up a little possibly. Its going to be mostly playing around so they dont interfere with my hands i guess.
I was thinking also i can clip the wideband display to the dash vent by the trip reset button and put the boost gauge in a pod ontop of the dash.. but looks sorta tacky that way i guess. I just want it all to be relatively seamless.
