How are people mounting the RDP digital turbo gauge pod. I thought about mounting it to the steering column with a clamp. Comments?

I have not yet decided whether to mount it centered on the steering column or off to the right coming off the top left mounting hole where the gauge cluster mounts.. I will post pictures when I attach mine

We needed a padded dashboard to get it registered so it was easy to just stick it on. Hope this helps

I decided to mount it to the right of the instrument panel. It worked out really good. I used 3 -1 1/2” coated clamps and mounted it to the bar. I used 4 thick washers on one bolt to the left to get the angle right. It’s on the same plane as the instrument panel.
I’m going to purchase the Aeroforce Interceptor also and mount it on the steering column.

I feel it came out pretty good, taller drivers will have an obstructed view, good thing I am only 5’5”!

Looks great, you will probably have to notch the hood, but who cares!

I know I’m reviving a rather dead thread, but it might be helpful for someone else. I fabricated a mount for mine that mounts just under the gauge cluster. I traced out a template using cardboard to get the mounting point right and make sure it would clear the bottom of the cluster. Then I used some sheet steel from Lowes, some 3/4 inch spacers and 1.25 inch bolts. Once it was all cut out and ground smooth, I gently bent the metal to the angle I was looking for. If it breaks down the road, I’ll redesign it and add some support. I’ll also add a picture from behind the gauge cluster after i get home from work since I don’t have one on my phone.

Not the easiest way but could provide some inspiration

I like how you tucked that ambient light sensor in the switch panel.Not the easiest way but could provide some inspiration

Love the pedals too... Fill us in please on what those are and how you lengthened the gas pedal. I'm wanting to space out the gas pedal for better heal toeing myself.Those pedals...

I actually didn’t lengthen the gas pedal yet, the angle that the picture was taken makes it look that way. I know that JERMzSS and a few others have done it here....
Gas pedal extension
Not sure if this has been done but I'm in the beginning stages of making an extension to move the gas pedal close to the brake pedal. It's something I've wanted to try to help with heal/toeing forever but It always gets pushed aside for other projects. I think I'm gonna move it up 2 inches...
