    just dremeled a hole in the front center console to mount, left a space for another on one side. found the autometer nylon hose to be inferrior, went to lowes and auto zone, now it's 1/4 inch high pressure fuel line instead of 1/8 inch nylon tube. picted up a 1/8 to 1/4 elbow with a 1/4 nipple fitted it where the crappy stuff screws to the back of the gauge. its very responsive and reads right on the money with the accessport. i'm satisfied. i'll post pictures later.

    If you ask me i would have let you borrow my hole saw so the edges would be perfectly round

    that's okay the lip of the gauge covers the rough edges, it looks perfectly fine.
