Gauge placement

[Potter]

So I have gauges up the pillar(boost,oil pressure, and air fuel), I want to move them to a new place and and I was thinking about taking the vents out in the dash and putting them above the temp control. Has anyone on here done this and how would I go about blocking off the vents? If anyone has pictures some some cool placements over the pillar please shoot me some ideas. Thanks for reading this

I'm right in the middle of fabricating the panel to house them in the center vents. They're already in place and wired up just need to finish the panel. I'll have pictures in my build journal soon when it's finished. As for blocking off the vent, I just left it open behind the gauges. I have never once used the vents before. It's always on defrost until the windows clear up and then heat/defrost the rest of the time. I have no AC so no need for the vents ever. Don't think it'll be a problem.

See I never use the vent always heat or heat/defrost

me too and i want to put gauges in there too! i just have two gages - boost and oil pressure.

Its the best location for these cars without serious modification of the dash. I don't know if you'll be fitting 3 in there but it might work. I have boost and AFR.

the other things i was thinking was maybe do a triple pod up top like they do in the WRXs but it would have to be cut into and glued or screwed on and that would suck chopping up a dash in good condition.
