Multiple Gauge Install

[latvius]

I actually did this a while ago and meant to post about it, so better late then never.

I found an article in a magazine posted online about how to install these, in a nutshell you use a conduit hole cutter. Don't use a hole saw, they said not to but I had to try it to confirm they were correct.
Also if I had to do over I would have done less gauges farther apart. I also bought these nifty crimper set so I could do a plug so when I pull the dash pad off I can just unplug them.

Looks great,not sure of gauge size,but autometer makes some angle ring mounts that will aim gauges in drivers direction.#2234.

What does the metal part of the dash look like under all the gauges?

It's a Delphi crimper that can be used for the weatherpack waterproof connectors but the connectors I have in the picture are not the water proof ones. I'll have to look at the kit to see the name of them.

The metal has holes in it like 1/2" diameter in a pattern, I did this a year or more ago so my memory is a bit fuzzy

The gauges are actually pretty easy to see from the drivers seat, but if I was to do it over again I might try those individual angle rings, I don't like the look of a whole gauge pod though.
