Gauges on hood

[aperrego]

Hey,

I have seen some TR's out there with a couple gauges on the hood.. Like Fuel Pressure or oil psi.. Anyone doing this? I would like to but concerned about the inclimate weather.. I would like to do a tach and/or a FP Gauge.. So my Question is who makes a waterproof gauge? I think I can check with some marine suppliers.. But any input is appreciated..

THanks!

I run the K-B hood-mounted fuel pressure gauge year round with no problems. The worst I get is a little condensation after washing it or when the weather makes the windows fog up. I have had no problems with it so far, well except when my line layed on the alternator while the car was running and had a hole cut in the line. A new line and some re-routing and all is well. As for the tach I placed mine on the corner of the dash, right behind the inspection sticker. I run the 3 3/4" street tach by AutoMeter. Since my car has the digital dash it didn't come with a tach so I had to get something. It looks good beside the digital air/fuel gauge and boost gauge set-up.

I always keep a sandwich baggie and a rubber band in the car
to cover my FP gauge in case of rain.
I've never seen waterproof gauges but I'm sure someone
makes them.
