Gauge mounts, need recommendations.

I already have the A-pillar full with a pyro and dual boost/BP and dual fuel/oil pressure. I just ordered 2 more gauges, Coolant temp and dual 150psi for the air system I am installing. I got the dual because it is only $17.50 more so what the hey.

The question is do you guys have recommendations for mounting these last 2 gauges? I have seen on here some have them on the dash by the a-pillar (I think Tim and Cuda, not sure?). I kind of like that area. What type of housing did you use and where did you get it?

I am also entertaining the idea of mounting them under the power supply by the ashtray but I have a 5 speed so it needs to be perfect to be able to see them in all gears.

Suggestions.....?
Thanx guys

Is that a dash pod for a dodge? what year? I have considered the singles because they look good but I need functional and limited on space.

For a dodge 98-99 ram. Had to trim some off the back of the pod, but it was a clean install.

Neal I bought one of these to use on tp of the dash next to my A-pillar.
http://www.egauges.com/vdo_acce.asp?...Custom_Console

I got the one on the bottom. 2 gauges left mount. I am thinking about acually going to the 3 guage but not sure yet. its not mounted yet but it fits nicely if you drop the front lip over the edge of the dash and just use double sided tape to stick it. or good sticky backed velcro. I need to get them mounted soon as right now they are are mounted under the dash in single mounts double sided taped to the dash! yikes!

Tim I was looking at that style also but I found them a bit cheaper somewhere else~6.99-9.99 each.

ono, I like that style better but it looks like it needs to be mounted to the right of the wheel for the right gauge angles. I may still go that way though.

Still looking for more suggestions and I may need to get another gauge to fill up the 3 hole pod. What should I get guys? Oil temp???

Come on now Neal, you can't tell me you found those pods for 4 time less and what I paid and not tell me where! Also where do you get your gauges? I looked at hewitt's site and couldn't really find any good lookings gauges. Maybe I am looking in the wrong spot.
