What added gauges do you have and where did you mount them?
I wanted to put in a boost gauge and a gauge to monitor my veg oil temps and mebbe should I put something else?
Thinking about where to mount 'em.... On my truck there is a pod that fits on the A-pillar that'll handle three gauges. Anything like this for our Benzes?

A couple of people here have mounted them in the ashtray. Sounds like a good use of the space to me. You might want to add an EGT as well.

veg_burner, the hard part is getting the old retaining rings to let loose. I found that they rotate, you grab on the back of the unit, then spin the front to release them. Then you carefully push the vents back, it is real easy to pop off that rubber connector, so be gentle and check it often. Make sure you have turned the vent to "off" so you don't have hot air blowing around back there...
And if I want to change back, everything is right there... boneheaddoctor, now you have a real sweet setup there.

Won't say it was easy...because it wasn't.....required cutting away the plastic pocket behind the Ashtray. But it works , looks nice and its not in the way. Might work on a W123 if you are a non-smoker. Mine as you can tell is on a W116 300SD
