Subject:      RE: Wanted VDO/VW gauages/Where to put gauges in vanagon?

I put mine in a 3-gauge enclosure (made by VDO) and mounted that on top of the instrument cluster. Looks good and the gauges are visible without looking down or to the side. Only problem is that at night I get a bit of reflection on the windshield from the gauge illumination. I'm working on solving that (for now i just "shade" them with a map or dish towel or whatever is handy).

========================================================================= Date: Sender: Vanagon Mailing List <vanagon@vanagon.com> From: Subject: Wanted VDO/VW gauages/Where to put gauges in vanagon?

I would like to put gauges in my 1985 westy.(ie., volt, oil psi, oil temp.). Where is the best place to mount them? In the plastic heater cover below the radio?(Not a good view of gauges?And would have to cut holes) Or use a 3 gauge console? Problem is the dash is not level so where do you mount the console? Suggestions? Does anyone have some VDO/VW gauges with sender they would part with? Are there any gauges on the market that are as good of quality as VDO that are not as costly? Charles
