Pics of Temp Gauge

[local 25]

I installed my gauge surface mount instead of flush mount.The reason for doing it this way was there is a metal support bar for the new style mirrors that runs behind where the gauge would be if I flush mounted it.Also I did not want to cut the cowl.I used p.v.c pipe for the outer shell of the gauge.it fit the 2 and 1/16 gauge nice and snug. Then i painted it.

That looks awsome. I was going to put a gauge like that on mine but didnt want to cut up the inside of my hood. I'm now going to be looking at doing something like that.

how did you get the gauge to hold on

This is a good idea. I too do not like cutting up the internals of the hood.

To get the gauge to hold on ,there are 2 threaded studs that stick out of the bottom of the gauge.I drilled 2 holes for them about 1 & 3/4 apart and a hole in the middle of those for the the 3 wires.

do you have any pics of the back part to show how you did it.thanks

Sorry I did not take any pics of the back,but its pretty basic .You use a 3/4 wing bit for the center hole and 3/16 drill for the gauge mount studs. Just center the holes in the area next to the speedo .Hope this helps.
