In dash guages for a KB SC...

[GDawg]

I'm putting in a KB 1.7L 9psi SC in February. I want to put my guages into the dash of my '98 where the Mach 460 CD player used to be. (I put in an Alpine HU and a "sunglass" compartment where the (460 Mach) CD player used to be.) I'd like to put my guages there so I don't warn an opponate up front. Where's a good place to get guages (dash or A-pod)? I'm looking for someone that will explain the hook up....

TIA.... :SNSign:

There isnt any options for gauges in the dash unless you make it yourself.

Just about anyone carries a pillar or steering column pods.

I put my gages on the pillar....if I had to do it again, I'd go with the aftermarket piece that replaces the bezel around the instrument cluster.

That way your eyes aren't looking all over the damn interior to monitor things.

That's what i'd recommend. The piece that goes around the instrument cluster. Your opponent proabably wont even notice and that way you wont have to be looking down or up or whatever

There ya go. Just search for din gauge panel. www.42draftdesigns.com also makes DIN gauge panels for GTI's and Evos, which might fit your car but I'm not sure. I think those gauges might be hard to read down there, I'd get the panel with 2 gauges around the stock gauges. Good luck with either one.

www.summitracing.com for gauges

Measure the size of the CD Player opening and cut a plastic strip to the size, cut 2 holes out for the gauges and there you go
