why bother with a vacuum gauge

waste of 12v and wire in my opinion.

Oil temp, oil pressure and water temp if you need 3 in a N/A car

You get pillar mounts for gauges, or check Stoneygingers project thread to see his 2 gauges where the ashtray goes

That's what I've got, if you spaced it closer you'd get a 3rd in, also quite easy to see whilst driving

Are they angled?

As Kieran showed.

I used to have them here,




I've now gone to here,




And im getting rid of the radio and putting an AVCR Boost controller where the radio was. And as Nic rightly states im getting rid or the Narrowband, Putting a Wideband in, loosing the boost one and putting an Oil Pressure one in instead as the AVCR will give me boost readings.
