Default guage mounting

anybody have a cowl large enough to mount guages ? i thought about taking an "L" bracket and mounting to the firewall and then mounting a guage or two on the "L" bracket. guages would be in line of sight and kinda out of the way so as not to crowd the dash .thanks for the input

I've seen fuel pressure gauges in the cowl, and they put them there because you can't havea fuel pressure gaugeinside. So i'm sure somebody sells cowls with little gauge pods or something.

no i used a normal gauge pod. the pod sits on a flat area inside the cowl and a single bolt/nut holds it in place directly through the fiberglass
