2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Guage mounting

[ALehman]

I am looking to add some more guage in my truck. I want to remove the factory cup holder in the dash and make or buy and cover plate but I want to angle the guages tword the driver. Has anyone done anything similiar? Any products out there?

I didn't put the gauges in the location you speak of, but autometer makes angled rings to accomplish what you are talking about. It is a black spacer ring that is cut on an angle so the gauge can be clocked to a your viewing postion. I used them in my 70 Nova and they worked great. Attached is a pic, not the best but you can see the black ring behind the bezel which angles the face towards my driving postion..... hope it helps

Mine is the aluminum one. I have since switched to a pillar mount. I think I could probably part with that one for the price of shipping. Pm me if want it, or if you have any questions.
