Did some searching but couldn't find any threads. Please post up some pictures of where you have mounted your aftermarket guages in your XJ's.
Thanks in advance.

The reason I'm asking is I need to mount my 2 1/16 Autometer guages, water temp, oil press. and volts.

i have mine mounted in the exact same order.... and i mounted them on a piece of flat steel and counter sunk flat head bolts thru the bottom so its flush on the dash and then screwed that into the dash. its strong and stiff.

That looks good, I just have a "Thing" about stuff on my dash board. It's just a personal preference of mine. Not picking on your set-up. At least where you have them you don't have to look around much to see them.

not picking at all! to each their own. it was hard making the first drill mark... but now i have come to like it. all of my gauges work like my stock gauges and dim with them and all that god jazz... have my tach mounted on the a pillar in a special mounting cup. but the gauges i could get the mounting cup for and i didnt want to get the gauge pods since they are so expensive and a "universal fit". search for aftermark gauges on here and there is a thread created earlier that shows the pods. well a pod

Yea, I looked around a while before I posted. Didn't wanna get shot down for not "searchin'". There's gotta be more people out there with guages.

My 95 sport came stock with volts and oil pressure, also water temp but that gauge aint that grate.


Yours is left hand drive so you can order a "2 gauge pillar pod" on line.
