VDO has these guage brackets already made for 1,2, or 3 guages. I have one on my bug. Not worth the trouble to make one IMO. They are very inexpensive.

I'm going to put some guages in the 6thgen sometime in the future, VDO of course. Still not sure which guages though. Voltmeter for sure, it is the easiest to install and one of the most usefull I think. Snoobly I like your VTEC light idea!

you should go look for my thread, i drew up some simple plans in order to mount some gauges .. 3 to be exact .. if you can't find it, i'll link it .. if you wanna fab one up for me, i'd gladly send you some plans.

can you show us how you did it(mounting it to the steering wheel)? it's a good idea, but does it block your view from other gauges while driving? more pics and different angle. I like your gauge cluster background btw :leeann:

it's a good idea. it's a lot like mine, just a little more official. lol. thing is, i don't need three gauges. i only need one and someday want two.
