Hey i was just "looking" for creative cauge placement, and this came to mind...you think it this would work... not that many but maybe 3 or 4.....i release it'd be kinda cramped but i'm not real big and i dont htink it would be in the way that much...a couple of these...

but anyway what are your opinions on this, sharp turning might end up in my knee smashing them, the cup might work but i think any knocking around is NEVER good, but just curious, so any of you photoshop geniuses can throw a couple down there that'd be all kinds of cool. thanks alot

heres what im gonna do right now i have my boost gauge mounted behind my steering wheel, and them im going to mount the EGT and the oil press gauge on the A pillar, i dont have any pics of the EGT and oil press yet, cuz they arent mounted, but i can tell u how i mounted the boost...

i took some carbon fiber and 2ton epoxy and made a CF square, while the epoxy was still wet laid the CF on the steering column to get the right curve then took my dremel (love those damned things) cut it to shape, and then cut 2 slits in the CF square stuck a hose clamp thru the slits put some foam on the hose clamp, im still trying to figure out how im going to mount it CF perminatly right now i just have it zip tied(love those things too) im at school and my tools are limited, but it works for now

(sorry for the sh!tty pics i took them with my phone)
