tires and wheels Where to stick my new gauge?

[AustrianVespaGuy]

I grabbed this 911 oil pressure/temperature gauge off ebay for cheap and I'd love to mount it in my 2002 if I can just find a good place to install it. Any suggestions? Speedometer isn't that important anymore with bigger wheels on, right? JK

It looks nice. What is it's size compared to the other gauges?

Pretty much the same size as the regular 2002 dash gauges, ~4-in in diameter or so (not one of the little 2-in. aftermarket doodads).

well you need the correct oil pressure and oil temp sensors to drive it

and a mighty big hole............

oil temp sensor $16

oil pressure sensor $40

I like it! Unfortunately the only real place would have to be down in the center console?

Depends on what you are going for - if it's for a dedicated track car that would make it more flexible as to location.

I'm not being much help :-)

Maybe some sort of custom made pod you can fit on the left side where the instrument cluster bezel ends? No idea if it will even fit haha.

Nice gauge though.

Can you tell me what diameter it is? I'm thinking of using one to replace the clock in an E9....

Thanks

Put in place of the speedometer. Plug in a GPS unit and use that to record your speed. It's probably more accurate anyway.

Not sure it's exactly legal to get rid of the speedo, but I like your thinking. As soon as someone manages to port TunerStudio to Android, I'm planning put a permenant tablet in the center console area for running Megasquirt, GPS, muisc, etc. To answer the other question, the gauge has about a 4-in. diameter. It *might* fit in a tii clock spot, which I'm also considering 'creating' in my dash. I like the idea of using that little spot to the left of the gauge cluster, but that will take more trickery to install cleanly there with all of those contours. Not worried about the senders, they're cheap and since I no longer have a dizzy (running EDIS) I have plenty of real estate to mount the sending units.

Seems that someone, perhaps Mike in Beavercreek, used PVC pipe for an on top of dashborad gague mount.
