Evo Gauge Mounting

I'm looking for a simple mounting solution for the Steering Column.

Like many, I have the Zeitronix Wideband mounted in the center of the column like this:



... So I'm looking for a duel 52 or 60mm column mount that are spaced far enough apart I can still sit the Zeitronix in between, or two of the singles like are pictured above. What is that gauge mount above? Who makes it and where is it availiable?

Something like that ATI looks like it might work?



Ideas??? Thanks!

or you buy two individual bolt on autometer pods and space them far enough apart

search the official interior and dash thread in show n shine stickies for more examples

I've searched through, and got some great ideas for gauge mounting. In a perfect world I'd mount them with the Gruppe S triple gauge pod, but I have a meth light and purge mounted there and don't feel like changing all of that over, along with the rest of the winter project list ... That will be next year if this doesn't suffice.

You've answered my question; It's the bolt-on autometer pods that I did not know the make of. Those look like they could be the best solution for me this year.

Any other suggestions that may look "cleaner" are much appreciated as well.

Thanks chaotichoax.

I have 2 of the autometer single pods one for my uego and one for my boost gauge, in the middle I have my ebc sitting there. Now I need to take out my clock and get my tt in there! So you should give that a try, thier super cheap and come in black or CF. GL.

^read his sig, he has a '06 Apex Silver Mitsubishi Evolution IX SE :: TTP Tuned...not hard to figure out from his first post that it wasn't a pic of his car...

this is my guage set up, two autometer pods, I mounted them almost on line with the wiper/directional stalks and they are spaced apart perfectly. I can see all my gauges including my gas gauge and yet still have perfect visability of my boost gauge and wideband.

hope it helps man!

Perfect, thanks! ... I found the CF ones at Lancershop and they should match the SE Carbon Fiber very well ... Good stuff!

I'm from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Like said below, 06' Evo IX SE. Nice to see another Canadian with an Evo! How long have you had yours?

That's perfect! exactly what I was looking for and the type of information I needed. I'll order two of the CF 52mm cups and install them soon. Cheers!
