Hi all,

I am buying some monitering guages for my DISCO 2 and would like to see where people have mounted theirs.

For the engine saver where do people mount the warning light? Piccies would be great for all theses.

I am looking at a madman 1 or 2. but wish to be able to see it whilst driving.

Any other mounting positions for auxillery guages including boost and EGT whilst maintaining a net and uncluttered factory look.

Cheers, Chris

A few of us have mounted them (EMS-1) infront of the low range gear shifter

a couple of pics in this thread click HERE (http://www.aulro.com/afvb/discovery-2/125806-uhf-gauge-mount-ideas-into-disco.html)

others moun them on the dash like a GPS, others in pods on the dash. I was even thinking of mounting it on the roof near the centre map light, but i think you would need a longer harness (which is available).

I used one of the dashboard switch blanks drilled it in the centre and stuck the LED through that. I reasoned that should I balls it up at least all I needed to buy was another switch blank...!
