Auto Meter gauges, made the holder myself out of fiberglass and painted it, works great, mechanical water temp, oil pressure.

Excuse the pic in that last one, sun bounced off the camera

personally, I would go with the a-pillar mount from rx7.com; the guages are more visible, you dont have to look all the way under the radio to see boost, etc.

Your pillar will get so full before it looks silly, some gauges under the radio that dont have to be looked at all the time is a good idea in my book, personally im not nor was I ever a big fan of pillar gauges, when no one had them they were OK, now they have gotten out of hand with some of these cars, but thats just me, I opt for the clean factory look all the time, it never goes out of style, and Im not one for fads. But yes,a boost gauge up high is a good idea of course, how about a steering column gauge? 13bAce and myself were discussing making a pod to mount in that empty space on the steering column?

i have the lovely blue interior too https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png . i mounted my boost gauge to the column, its on the corner of the upper cover. i made 2 holes and secured it with a hose clamp, not the cleanest install ever, but it works
