Additional gauges location.

[SpursN17]

Hi
My temperature gauge on the dash doesn't work, and there's no tacho fitted in the car, so I'd like to add a couple of aftermarket gauges so I can see what's going on with the engine while I get it sorted. Where's the best place to mount them without damaging the dash area, has anyone got any pics of how they've mounted additional gauges?

My Speedo doesn't work either but I'm just going to get a cheap Amazon GPS Speedo and put it in front of the factory one temporarily.

Sounds as if you need to find a gauge speedo repair shop. Red line gauges in California just finished mine for my AMX project, repaired the speedo and calibrated it, resoldered the pins and circuit board, tested the gauges. My gauges were out do to loose pins on the board. $495 shipped

Thanks for the suggestions, the digital dash looks interesting. I really wanted something to put in just while I sort out a few other issues and still be able to keep an eye on how it's going while I'm driving it. I want to be able to remove them when I eventually start to get the interior sorted and decide whether to get the original dash repaired or go with a digital dash.

You could screw after market gauges to the bottom lip of the dash to the right of the vent cable near the middle of the dash is where most people put them.

Thanks, I'll have a look at fitting some there.
