I used to have my eboost mounted down there. found it very distracting and the time it took to glance down and back up at the road was long enough to be a concern.

I've not seen any ready made gauge holders that would fit there either.

Have you thought about 2 gauge cup on top of the steering column? Very easy too see and very easy to install. I currently have my boost and Wideband gauges mounted there

Guages in the tissue tray? Looks good in photos. Good use of available space.

Doesn't look in your traffic accident report when you admit to looking down at the guages (which you will!) before you ran up the rear-end of a 1982 Datsun...

Get a tripod guage holder.

I had I tripod, but don't want 3 gauges at the moment so I've mounted mine there. I rarely look at it though, it's only for on the line. Kicks it down there with my stubby holder for 40 degree days when you can't touch the gear stick.

Ive got a tripod already with boost, oil pres and oil temp however want to get a Aeroforce gauge (52mm) which isnt too distracting while driving as it only shows digits nothing like a boost gauge which Id wanna look at while driving. Where did you did the steering column gauge holder from????? There must be a good place that is viewable and easy to install. I thought about laser cutting a plate to hold the gauge in but the plastic tray would need to be cut into.

Mine hits boost harder than I hit my Mrs, needed the extra swing.

It's not as bad as the one I saw with a 5" boost gauge! :bangcomputer:

They are just regular Autometer Rollcage mounting Cups. Two screws and a bit of foam to stop any squeaks. The roll cage mounts have a small groove pressed into them to help align them with the tube, this sits very nicely on the corner radius of the top steering column shroud

Any where you can get them online? I wanted mine there but was ify about screwing in. So there's nothing there?
