the thing about having them there is that it may get hot,mine did.

be better putting it further up the dash too as when its in gear you cannot see it that good,ok you have the warning light but i still like to check the readings now and again.

excellent product too.

EDIT - this is a Collins monitor, so a SEC's would look similar!

I knew i should of taken Mike up on his offer!! Then you'd be fucking sorry! I'd of mounted your defi's in the boot!

Kelv
Funny you wernt saying that on my post............ TIT! (Think the phonecall was, can you make me one!?!?!?).

Well i cant see the point of having an engine monitor down in the ashtray........ When the Roads in front!!! That is just an easy solution!

Best position is where i have mine, or where Paul R's & Mike R's Pectels are mounted (which i did think about but the Collins is a sealed unit!).

To be honest i dont think it looks that bad but whats with the 6ft square flat section to the left of the moniter where the left hand vent should be you Have to put summin in there like another gauge or am i missing the point here?
