I did mine like this.
I drilled a hole for the F-5 wire and used some epoxy to hold it in there.

as of right now i don't have a dp tuner yet. i have just heard that the way you mount it is with Velcro and that didn't appeal to me.

I want to get some other mods done first like CCV, RR, HPX, Exhaust lol.....Then i will jump for the tuner. i didn't know if you all have seen this so i posted it. but you guys are on top of it.

There are several mounting methods. The gauge bracket is one, there is a flush mount bracket (JMS mount) for the small switch also (have them, but no time to get them on the site lately). You can also get the "Gauge Switch" and either install it in a gauge pod or into a 2-1/16" hole in the dash. If you're creative, I'm sure you can come up with some of your own ideas too.

Because of what was being discussed, I had to look at the date of this thread because I thought someone had resurrected a really old thread!

Oh well, I guess if it's new to you, then it's still new! LOL!

Here's how I mounted my switcher, using Jody's JMS mount.







I didn't push it all the way in because I wanted to keep the ability to remove the switch, utiizing the no-start feature, but as of right now its pushed all the way in courtesy of my local car wash place.

Stewart

Edit: Dennis beat me to the punch regarding the JMS mount.

I had the gauge pod holder, but it never stayed tight(my gauge was loose)
I have since bought the JMS and mounted it in the console like Stewart, but on the left side. I actually should have gone to the right side!
JMS mount is my choice for those ho have yet to install a DP F5 tuner!!
