gauges

hey all, i found a cool place to mount a gauge in my dc2 teg, just one of the small ones, not sure of the exact size (the ones that oil pressure and the such come in)

just wondering out of all of them, which would be the most usefull one to have? also would 1 just be silly? i cld mount 2 possibly

not really know much bt gauges and just wondering which type would be of most benefit

thanks

oil temp, oil press, and A/F ratio are most important..

best place to mount them, on a-pillar,

otherwise if ya dont mind holes, the center of dash maybe?

up to you really on where to mount

I'm not a fan of gauges on the A-piller, especially if theyre in those big ugly fibreglass pods. They might look cool but they kinda block your vision. Mount them on the dash I'd say...
