Discrete Gauge Mounting Ideas

Glove box

I thought about that. My one concern is that while my buddy is driving the car, I will be tuning the car in the passenger seat. I'm 6'2 and barely squeeze into the passenger side, so I'm concerned the glove box won't open. I'm not near my car so I can't go out and readily check that. But that was my first thought, a small mount like shown below and using some double stick tape so I'm not drilling into the glove box. I may go that route regardless as I will have a separate wideband if I'm tuning, less pertinent the driver is watching at the same time. Thank you.

Down below the driver's (or passenger's) knees... Mount the gauge to the valence on the inside of the center console.

I mounted my mechanical temp gauge down there.

Here's a picture.... You can just see the Temp Gauge at the bottom of the frame....

You might consider using a small tablet and Bluetooth. There are processing packages that allow you to process analog signals and software for display choices. You can mount it or set it on a sand bag and then it just goes along for the ride when you want it too.

Question for you on your other post. What's the grind on your solid bump stick?

...I have often thought of mounting a 'Multi-Function' Digital Gauge(Dakota Digital), on a Plate, in the Center of the Steering Wheel! With a Dimming Capability. There is plenty of room in the Hub. You would have to drill a hole at the base, for the Leads to pass through, and secure them for Rotation. Corse, would only be Readable in 'Straight-Line' Cruising.

Here is what I did.

Here is one more photo. The gauges and FITech control screen are very visible thru the steering wheel.

I need all the legroom I can get, if not the Bluetooth I'd probably opt for fabricating an A-post mount, just above the dash.

The Hall center console/armrest had provision for two gauges so that could be an option too.

You could always have an upholstery shop build a small, thin digital A/F ratio meter into the top of your visor.

Here's another option:

Some great ideas, thanks everyone. I had an elaborate analog gauge setup in one of my other cars and I like the nastalgic factory gauge look. Just my personal taste, but don't want to ruin that aesthetic with modern gauges. After some basic tuning I would just like to reference A/F while driving so I can go back later through the logs and confirm any changes. Otherwise the factory gauges will suffice. I'd like to keep anything out of the area for my knees and legs because I fit pretty tight as it is. I think I'm going to just go the glove compartment route, that way any prying eyes may believe the car is mostly stock appearing through the windows.
