i have the same 3 gauges set up as you in my car, It was a pain to install, had a lil problem with the oil pressure and oil temp, but i know how that install can be a real bi*ch...so GOOD JOB it looks great. I screwed mine into my dash with a fabricated piece of steel i screwed to the dash pod. It couldnt be anymore sturdy, only think that bugs me is that on the passenger side of the pod it doesnt fit exactly flush with the dash.

Very nice. Well done

You have personalized your car, the way you like it. Not everybody is going to approve or want toduplicate your efforts. The important thing is that we all get a chance to see what can be done andwhat products (often brand new) are out there, and how they look after install. That's what this community is all about...sharing ideas and experiences.

Here is a pic of the SOS gauge center. I wouldn't silicone the Autometer down, I think you'll end up switching it at some point as I did. I have a SOS A-pillar to replace the one I have now. Just had to do a little bodywork before I could get it installed.

I thought the Autometer was a little cheap too. However, after only a little while it got worse![:@] If your like me you won't be able to take it for too long! I had to put my hand on it to stop it from rattling while I was driving!!!![:@]

I saw earlier in the thread you use to have the other type of center dash cluster (the one mounted on the top of the dash). You said it warped and you had to replace it do to that and the rattle it was making. I'm curious.....was it not a situation that you coudnt modify it not to rattle or were you just **** full of it by that point and didnt care to make it work? When I do my supercharger I really wanted to use that type of dash mount (I'm just not really a fan of the other styles that I've seen thus far) and I'm wondering if its a no win situation and I should just give up on it now (I'm no where close to the supercharger at this point anyway). What brand was the old one anyway?

Thanks for any info.
