Default Gauge Mounting

Hey guys.

I've picked up more stuff for my turbo install recently (I can thank this economy for me getting my parts slowly -_- )

I got my Innovative Wideband today and I was wondering how everyone mounted theirs?
I've seen it mounted in the ashtray area, can someone point me to a write-up or can someone walk me through making a mount for the tray?

I don't want to mount it on the top of the dash, but I'll also entertain other mounting options.

Thanks

If you send me the part where you want the gauge mounted I can make something for you out of fiberglass.

I stealthed mine where the clock used to be, AFR gauge on the left and Boost gauge on the right. With the boost controller in the ashtray. When the car is off and the ashtray closed, the dash looks stock.

I'm running the Innovate LC-1 controller and AEM MAP sensor to feed the segmented displays. I did not use the gauges that came with the kit.

What did you use as a display for the clock mod? Looks like something I would possibly be interested in.

I do all the work on my own cars. I'm not sure of any shops or members in FL that might do the swap for you, but you may want to check out the southeastern/florida members section and see if they can recommend you someone.
