Post your Gauge Install Photos!

[Trock]

Looks great! What gauges are those?

Thanks.. They are MGL Avionics, aircraft gauges

Infinity Singles

I have a manifold pressure (boost), oil pressure and EGT gauges installed.. the units have muliple channels so have a CHT probe and could measure oil or tranny temps too if I wanted to I guess..

Really nice gear.. worth a look.

1991 FJ80 with Triple Gauge Set

When I converted my vehicle to run with a GM 6.2L turbo diesel I needed to add some additional gauges; a pyrometer, turbo boost, and oil temperature. I decided on mounting the VDO gauges in the space between the center console and the lower dash.

It is a little lower than I would prefer, but I wanted a factory appearance. You can tell from the photos that I purchased a salvaged center console from a late model 80 series, and fabricated an extension to meet up with the lower dash.

If you look carefully, you can also see the additional switches for the electric fans. They run automatically off a 2-stage BMW thermostat sensor, but I can also switch them on manually, or cut them off for when I go across deep water.

I am using the OEM glow plug controller from GM, but I have a master switch positioned next to the fuse box. Also, there is the OEM Toyota throttle advance cable installed in the factory position.

Nice gauge install 91Chevota! Turned out nice!

 

[KingSpence]

Complete! I just need to find a clean place for a voltage gauge at some point now.

This thread is just screaming for a shot of McTagues gauges/dash on his 75 'ute. Sadly I have no picture, just a mental one, burned into my retina.

Yeah- pricey for a bit of ABS, but I had just finished installing my rebuild and was too burnt to fab something at the time.

At least it's built solid. Made in the UK - not China crap......

Is there a different/better link for this? Requires a forum login, and I have enough forums to keep track of as it is.

Didn't want to have to look down, and moves the deck into console out of sight.

New Autometer GS series gauges.
I added a dimmer switch

What pillar pod is that just wondering thanks mate

What pillar pod is that

There was a group buy on a custom made one a couple of years ago.

It was one of those. It would be interesting to find out if the company saved the molds and would still make them.

My junk

Here is my current setup in an '84 BJ42. Currently wanting to make a roof console and move most up to make room for a radio and replace with a new centre dash....

 

[Enigma]

Rather redundant on the temp gauges?

Procomp _ Full sweep mech pressure guage

Procomp _ Short sweep elect guage

DirtGypsy and I created this panel in place of the radio which is now in the tuffy console. I need another seat heater for the to make the pod symmetrical. With green bulb covers they match the factory gauges pretty well.

I like that, stock looking.

Nice job!

Water T°, EGT and Boost (sorry for bad pics quality).

Does anyone have pics of Auber Instruments displays in an 80 series? Also, what are the 3 blanks along the top of an 80 series dash for?
