I just used proper sized Hand wrenches. Takes a little longer, but it works.

Simple, so i dont have to keep running back and looking through the window to see what the engine is doing.

There is also a FP gauge, and A/F ratio gauge in there too.

And as for the fuel filter, its chaeper then getting a catch can, and cheaper to replace then a breather, and i can see if any more then usual oil passes through there.

It doesnt look like you spend enough time under the hood that you NEED guages in there. What do you do when your driving and you need to see whats going on, pull off to the side?

Nope, i got the same gauges in my pillar pods.

The engine ones are for mostly tuning and show. Extra show points is always good.

Yup,
And only one of them actually has a nut on it.
You'll mount to those.

Maybe even go grab a 5/16" lock nut from somewhere for the other stds pointing up back there.

Have fun,

i'd definatly mount it to the studs as well. just as an extra support i guess. its not hard. to do, might bust a knuckle or two. if you have wratchet wrenches it'll be cake...





GO PATS!!!
