I don't want to have the cups on the backs so if you have any ideas LMK.Yes I will paint it. Last edited by Clanton; 04/14/14 04:06 PM.

If i had kept my roots i'd have mounted the 2 gauges with a bracket off the back of the blower angled a bit towards the driver. I have the 2 gauges in cups directly in front of me for the procharger set up.It would be less of a visibility restriction and a little cleaner look.Just my

My temp and oil pressure were mounted below the dash as usual. Those were just the gauges I added for the boost. The Fuel pressure is electric. The sending unit was mounted on the fuel line by the carb. (see pix) 8115538-sc3.jpg (20 downloads)
