For the wire hole..... Try and follow along..... use a length of pipe cut length wise and graft that to the pole, at the base. You make a channel for the wires BELOW the mount, well its like a raised section for the wires. Do I make sence?

Can you weld some tabs on in a uniform nature that can hold gauges for the oil pressure and temp? I thought about having one that mounted to the front firewall near the fuel reserve. The guy that made the one in the og pic got the idea from me years ago. Dammit!!!!!!!!!

There will be a mount for the tach and two mounts for smaller gauges.

I think so. Pipe running towards the front of the car, or away?

Yes, towards the front of the car. And then run the wires along the floor on the pass side, then up the door pillar into the frunk. I guess it all depends on where most of your wire bundle is comming from.

That is a trick little piece there. That is a very nice and clean weld too. Keep up the good work.

The oil pressure gauge came in so I put it in there to see how it will look when hooked up.
