Where to mount additional gauges?
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how/where to mount some additional VDO gauges - but retain a factory look? I would like to add 2 or three. (eg. voltmeter, head temp)
thanks, Todd '88 911 Carrera |

A lot of folks remove the clock and use that hole.

I added a Voltmeter, CHT gauge and trans temp gauge to a center console -- also with a compartment for my sunglasses.

When replacing the clock with a voltmeter is there additional connections to make...do you have to wire the Volt Meter to something?

 Caption, Road and Track PS style: Jack couldn't really afford the new guages and the armrest at one time, but he wanted them very badly, so he made the decision and sold the steering wheel. "It's very comfortable, and this way I'm saving a lot on gas money!" said Jack. (Sorry Jack, couldn't resist.  )
