I bought a mechanical oil pressure gauge from the local parts store so that I could monitor my oil pressure. The problem I am having is where to mount it so that it isn't in the way. Anybody have any suggestions? I know that one guy was thinking about mouning his in the clock location since his radio had a built in clock but I'd rather not do that because I'd like to keep my clock where it is. Thanks

Pod mounted to the A-Pillar, like where a boost gauge would normally go?

Extra length wires and lines, so you can tuck it under your seat, out of sight, and take it out when you want to check it?

In the place of an air vent for the A/C?

I'm not sure if you want it stealth or not...... Sounds like one to figure out for yourself.... just make sure anything you do can be reversed, or hidden/minimal alterations that aren't likely to be found (ie; Don't screw it down to the dash!)

Several Q owners have adapted A-pillar gauge pods that were orignially intended for other vehicles in the aftermarket - Should come up in a search...
