Fitting a boost gauge, B4 Legacy

[Ben]

Hi all. Just wanting to know how people mounted their boost gauges. Am wanting to put one on the driver's pillar side, with as little molestation of the interior parts as possible. Pics would be good.

Thanks,

Ben

If you get a pillar cup you can usually mount it with 2 small screws and a small hole for the vacume line to run thru. for mine i have it sitting on top of the sterring column in a steel mount that is held by automotive tape.

putting that in there is one of the easiest ways, drill holes cable tie in or screw it in, then all you got if you want to take it out if afew holes

either that or buy one of those and fit it to your a pillar, bog it up and paint it, looks tidier but doesnt match the rest of your interior and you cant take it out.

Thanks for the input guys. I ended up buying a cup and screwing into the panel. Went to Otago Wrecker's, bought a new plastic pillar piece for $10 so if the gauge ever need's to come out i have a replacement.

On a quick note, does anyone (that has guages mounted to their pillar) have trouble with the WOF inspectors? My mate failed his wof because he had 3 guages attached to his pillar because they could cause injury in a crash. Arn't anything fancy, standard gauges fitted in standard cups.

id say he had them all the way up the pillar, i have had several cars go thru a wof with pillar mounted gauges, but most of the were down as low as i could get them....

Yeah they were spaced evenly all the way up the pillar.
