They angle towards driver and up and they are easy to readThey also have red warning lights on the face for when they go above/below at certain set point.In the throws of battle you dont have time to look at gauges anyway. Tacho's have rev limiters/shift lights, speedo's now have audible overspeed warnings and these are placed straight in front of us. I used an aftermarket panel to mount the gauges Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/50068-gauges-installed-into-fg-xr6tdone-just-about/#findComment-739540 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been some minor issues with the car towing but will wait until I get back on to Port Campbell to post on the forum.
