i just got two gauges that are pricol, one is fuel pressure and the other is high pressure oil .I like to install them just under the speed cluster .I think I can get one on the right of the steering column but it looks like there is not enough room on the left of the steering column. Has any one tryed to do this kind of install.:thanks

auto meter makes an under dash gauge holder...but if its under
the steering wheel how you gonna see 'em ? most mount 'em under
the cubbie or a little more to the right inline w/ the radio.

you could mount them over the rearview mirror using the same
mount.

autometer also makes a dash over lay that lets you place one gauge
at each side of the factory instrument cluster.

theres even a mount offering that allows you to put a gauge
on the steering column

Check out Joe's gauge install pics (CSIPSD). You'll be amazed. I believe he's done what you are asking about doing.

The thing that looks like a shade over the gauge is a rather crude cover made from the cap off a spray paint can to keep the gauge from reflecting on the windshield at night. Yea, it's ugly, but it worked.:sweet
