New Gauges for Grand Am

[Later-A-body]

I've been trying to incorporate two gauges into the interior and came up with the idea of mounting them on the center console sort of like the 60's cars had. It was really important for me to have a fuel pressure gauge and an air fuel ratio gauge in this car. So I came up with the idea of mounting them on the center console and have to make a bracket that allows me to mount them. The Challenger console has a small little area in the front where I had enough room to make a bracket. The gauges are 52mm Prosport Halo series. Fully programmable with warning alarms.

I plan to transfer the cardboard template to aluminum and have it upholstered to match the console.

That console looks so clean without the gauges. I don't know if that's such a great spot for those gauges. Also, while the idea of a wideband gauge and a fuel pressure gauge seem like a great idea, they are really not needed. I have both in my GTO and they are mostly useless to monitor on a continuous basis. The fuel pressure gauge is more boring than a clock. It never moves! LOL

Both are great for diagnosing problems, but as far as having them as constant monitors, I think it is a little pointless in a street car. Just my thoughts....
