I've got $$$ to much in those all mechanical autometers in my avatar, includes tach that is in left cab corner. Oil temp, Trans temp, Water temp, Oil pressure, Angle rings is a must, Fab. was Labor Intensive, loL.

Five total, those in pic look great, there were no pods for this year mdl. because of pillar design. Thats what I found out after 100 searchs, the 92 mustang came close but bad blind in windshield.

So which pod did you actually end up using/modding to fit that spot? Be honest.... can you really interpret the displayed data easily and quickly while driving with the gauges so far away? I am considering doing all electric gauges with the digital/lcd displays which I think would be ok from that distance because they display an easily identified value rather than a needle pointing somewhere on the dial.

Thanks for your input, your install -looks- awesome but I need it to function too. Are your gauges all electric?

Hey, my gauges are full sweep, mechanical, backlit,....now you measure the distance between where mine are and your distance, not that different, add the angle rings, there're looking right at you, each fraction on sweep is 10 degrees, like i said there're not cheap, but not the most expensive. Its not like they dance around and find a need to stare. Once you know you know. We are a family of three so no gauges underfoot was thought of here, I need radio someday don't want that over there. I want it where it goes.

Thanks/ My idea was all done by hand no cluster here.
