I have looked at those and found the angles of the gauges to be wrong due to the nature of our A piller vs a ricer's a piller. I guess they could custom make them for you

stainless tube and a pipe bender ;)

we made some for the cowl on my old car to stop pricks knocking the three gauges off :roll:

buy the gauge and then buy the stainless tube( 3" from memory )
bent t to suit and cut to length
just a little left of insanity :)

can anyone say rice :finger: :finger:

I doubt you would find any available from anywhere pre-made like RanginRover said. Personally I wouldn't mount them on the pillar as I've heard numerous stories of ricers getting defects for them (something about reducing vision??). I would go for somewhere in the centre of the dash. Theres bound to be dash pods available that you could cut and shape to sit on top of your dash. Just don't let it sick up to high because cops love defecting anything remotely cool....I mean ricey :D :D

Thanks, nice one as you can see I have not put a lot of thought into this - just a matter of motivation.
