    Default Oil Pressure Gauge - Where to mount?

    I really want to add an oil pressure gauge to my car; I really get nervous driving without one (I know when racing that's the only thing that I ever watch).
    With the side curtain air bags the possibility of installing a pillar pod is a no no.
    I was just wondering what others have done, again I'm only looking at adding an oil pressure gauge & not a triple pod.

    I've seen boost guages mounted in the air vent near the window. It looks pretty slick. How big is the gauge?

    2 1/16" or 52 mm was the size that I was planning on using. Almost always used Autometer/Longacres in my race cars, but the Prosports/glowshift gauges seem to match the dash a lot closer.
    I was digging around last night & found a few old piller pods from old cars I've had & was thinking of making myself something custom out of fibreglass (it's been a while since I played with fibreglass).

    I've see gauges custom mounted where the passeger airbag light comes on next to the cigarette lighter.
