Does anyone make a hood mounted gauge pod

[Silver Bullet Ram]

I was wanting to mount mechanical fuel pressure gauges on the hood and was wandering if i could find pods to put them in since there isn't much room on the cowl.

Bigsaint did a custom job himself - check his reader's rigs. I have been considering this for sometime but have been told that there is nothing to worry about in terms of a mechanical FP gauge in the cab. Good luck whatever you do,

I used an Autometer pod, but there's no reason why you couldn't use a different brand. You have to custom fab a mount for the pod, unless you want to drill the hood :--) . Here's a link to what I did, sorry but the pics. aren't that great.

And another. I changed the gauge to an Autometer vac/boost gauge as I needed it to read just above 15 psi's.
