Re: D.I.Y Autometer AutoTrans Temp gauge install (new mount)
Just wondering if someone knows what the legallities of having the gauges mount on the A-pillar are? I've heard and read that something along the lines of 'so long as it doesn't affect the drivers vision out the window. But also that there have been defects reported by people that have had them mounted in such a fashion, and then others that haven't been defected as well.
On the other hand, seeing gauges in that location seems minor when one considers that most GPS devices have suction mounts to the windshield and can be placed just about anywhere, and also the devices that taxis have mounted on the dash infront of the driver. Most taxis these days possibly including a GPS as well?
Thinking about driver vision in that regard, should we not be able to mount gauges wherever we want?
Not wanting to hijack the thread, but seems relevant with this type of install?
Cheers. Matt.
