and, IMO, that looks like quite a hack-job. a-pillar pods are much more in the line of vision. the way you drilled isn't even on an even surface, they are too far away from the driver to be safely utilized. and then those other 2 gauges just sitting there makes it all look out of place...

you posted for opinions, so don't bash me for mine. smile.gif.

I disagree, and that's why I tried another way.

1. I don't like how A-pillar looks, but they are even unconfortable, because the higher ones are too near to your face, and you loose time to focus them.

2. Gauges are for tuning/mapping or aestethic.
When you tune/map, you have time and you must look at them.
But when you race, and I am not talking about 400 meters long races... laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif ,
you really have not the time to look at them.
2 years ago I made a 1 hour session in Monza:
when I came out, a friend of mine asked me the top speed I reached in the long long, 5th gear, pitlane.... and I didn't know !
Never had the time to look at the odometer when you are racing !
Gauges are not for safely race, if you want failsafe gauges, you have to buy electronic gauges with alert led when the values are too high or too low...
for example my Greddy fuel pressure gauge has it...
Or, even better, and this is what I made on my car, all the sensor are connected to my ecu and then to the PC you see on the passenger seat, and when a sensor is out of normal values, I get an alert and it goes in safe mode.
IMHO this is the only way to go. And that's what I made...
PS: for this purpose, I will put a 7" touchscreen monitor in the 2 din for the carPC that works with my ecu.

Absolutely don't be worried for this ! Opinion are welcome !
BTW if opinions were so important for me, I'd ask how to do it, before making in this way. wink.gif

To tell the truth, it was easier than I would think.... I only made the centering holes before drilling with the cup, and I only had to keep the drill perpendicular.

And the result is better than what I tought !
