I may be wrong but I think he means the actual gauge pod, how to mount that. And he also has an oil press. gauge not temp.

Ok, I just noticed some of the pics showed the wires from the gauges so I wasn't sure. The gauge pod should have come with 4 plastic pins. You drill a hole through the pod and into the firewall covering. Then press the pins into those holes. If you don't want to see the pins then you can just super glue the pod to the firewall, just use a few towels or something to prop it into place while it dries. It holds pretty good, just make sure you have everything hooked up correctly before you do this.

Don't use super glue...If you don't want to drill holes and use pins...Use black 3m double sided tape...It'll hold just fine.

You'll have to take of the A-pillar plastic cover (4 or 5 clips and velcro) Then clamp them together and drill a hole through them a little bigger than 5/16"(11/32" if you have the drill bit) those "christmas tree" clips will push right in and attach it solidly to the A-pillar. Depending on what gauge you have, you might have to cut out a piece of the plastic A-pillar cover to allow clearance for the back of your gauges (had to do it with my VDO boost gauge)

In my car i cut the individual gage pods out, and setthem on my dash. well i have a GN what do you expect! besides my dash is flat, why not go for it?

I've never had any luck with 3m double sided tape when it comes to attaching gauge pods

If you use the black 3m and not the white foamy 3m normally found in the crafts isle...you shouldn't have any problems...

Maybe just my luck though...but that pod is solid.
