Definitely somthing I didnt think about. Now with all this enlightenment to these facts, I think I'm going to dash mount them.

Anybody have good links to a nice gauge pod or gauge mounts? (I haven't looked for them yet)

There has been alot of good info in this thread so far, and thank you all for keeping the BS comments out of the thread.
