ClassE Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 I'll be adding at least 2 aftermarket gauges to the E30 (wideband and likely a oil PSI gauge), and haven't seen a lot of good gauge locations other then the recess just forward of the change tray.Anyone know of good gauge mounting locations (and where to buy the mount parts?) as I need to get something sorted out right away so I can get the wideband mounted.Any help/pics would be greatly appreciated.

KaiserRolls Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Have you looked into the gauges that replace the drivers side vent about the radio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClassE Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 http://www.podi.ca/VentPackages.aspx?CarID=15Damn that's cool.... But $350 + senders is more then I wanna spend right now. Already got my Innovative wideband anyways so really just looking for a place for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassE Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Affer more googling - I see people have mounted them where the ashtray is (perfect since I never use it). Just can't seem to find anyone who sells the mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClassE Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 http://www.parkerperformance.com/store_product.php?item=M000113Perfect - nice find Earl!

DrLeadFoot Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 http://www.rallyroad.net/content/e30-steering-column-mounted-gauge-pods Not the most OEM look but it puts the business right in front of your face. I'm running this for my boost and wideband gauges and I have the 3 pod setup in front of the ashtray area. Oil pressure, voltage and water temp.

Earl Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 I'm having a hard time thinking of good spots to put my air gauges. I want something that looks very OEM. I would hide them but I can't find a good spot for that either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Then I would need to drill a hole in my euro glovebox=/ Rowleym 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 For what? I meant to do a custom gauge pod inside the glovebox so when you want to see your air gauges, just flip down the glove box as usual. Out of sight when not needed and glove box is closed. No cutting involved. Similar to this, but doesnt need to use up the whole thing if you dont want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 I would need to drill inside of it to run the air lines and power wire into the glovebox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Who cares?? I'm sure someone in Europe has cut into their glove box and didn't think twice about it. B C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
