Just another option, I am putting mine here.

That is a pretty good solution as well, I didn't think the cable was that long.

cudaragtop,
Oh yeah, it's plenty long enough. I ran it over to the drivers side and into the wiring loop to the front then up and over to the speedo and had wire to spare.
Cheers!

I have not gotten to the point of using it yet, much more to do first. I see no reason it won't work as well there as in the front.
Your gauges look great!

Cheers!

I agree that it should work just fine, plus I think it is a good place for it.

thanks, there are a lot of hours in those gauges, but I really like it.

Update, I have been working with DD to build a custom dash based on their recently released Mopar Ralle gauge set, they have agree'd to customize the fascia panel to closely match the OEM gauge fascia. Here is a rendering of the outcome, very happy with it so Ive ordered one :bigsmile:

I really like the way you mounted the gauges. That was the way mine were supposed to be done. I would be strongly interested in purchasing the
mounting bracket, if you would consider making more. I'm in a holding pattern right now while the car is getting painted.

Unfortunately, it is more than just the bracket, you have to modify the bezel as well. Obviously not impossible to do, but you (or someone) has to have some fabrication skills and tools to make it work (not saying you don't). Now, what I could do is make you some templates out of construction paper that could be transferred over to sheet metal along with some instructions and pictures if you (or someone you know) has the equipment and materials to make it work. I used 20 gauge sheet metal which can be purchased from any HVAC company (guys who do heating and AC work).

My bezel is already machined flat. The guy who made them work, just attached them to the plastic. (see pic). I don't really like it , so I was looking for a better way and yours looks great. I can't do fab work with any degree of talent. The car is in a shop that could do it, but they would run me through the roof on cost. The first one is always the hardest. Thought since you have the design, you could knock a couple out and sell them ?? just a thought....
