Aeroforce Interceptor gauges went in today

[chief455]

got a dual gauge set used, settled for red lights and like them now, got two cup mounts, farmer clamped to the steering column for test run.
best gauges ever! 4 vital PCM items monitored at once! Super easy all the way.
sorry the $1 fuzzy video goes sideways for a bit, my camera man was not right

Nice. Enough gauges to cover all the important stuff

thanks! Important stuff and more....
The Aeroforce gauges are like having a 2" gauge view of an OBD scan tool, 2 items per gauge. A great value!

Nice! Almost like a fighter jet with all those gauges! I have enough trouble watching the few I have LOL

yeah, baby
Part of the WIN of the hood and gauges added, they DON'T block visibility - just more cool things to glance at!

ha! It is cool at night.
I really only needed one Aeroforce to watch IAT and head temp, but the deal for the pair was too sweet.
So I have knock retard and trans temp at a glance too. Or anything else I choose in the readout lists.
warning lights set for 6200 rpm on one gauge, 1 degree knock retard on the other.
It's like watching your mirrors, just enough to be aware.

It was nice to see my IAT drop ~10 degrees during a WOT pull
killer chiller and other systems all go, Sir.

Really liking that setup!

Where did you get the cup mounts from and what do you mean by farmer clamped?

glad you like it!
I might have done this rather than the pillar pod, knowing now.
Stole the idea from a picture of Jerry's last supercar purchase, but mine done a little differently.
I looked for a custom twin pod steering column cover, but they sell a right or a left mount cup only, and for F-150 so not a perfect fit or color match.
I needed twins so, bought a pair of the gauge cups:
here -> http://www.summitracing.com/int/part...9925/overview/

quality is good, they do pivot up/down, have a round grommet in the back ran the wires through. The curve in the mount bottom landed right on the top corners of the steering column plastic cover. I placed a cup on both sides, getting them centered in view of the dash fuel level and tach, as to be in straight sight and not block anything vital.
As temporary, ran a 5" long, 1/2" wide band clamp around the column, through the cup mounts in provided slots. Farmer style.
I wrapped the clamp in electrical tape in areas to protect the column plastics, and make the clamp dark.
I ran the data wires around the steering column, coiled up under the lower plastic panel cover, and cable tied it all. It's just plugged into OBD port, can pull out and let dangle to use a scanner or SCT as needed.
Steering tilt works fine, gauges ride up and down as you tilt the wheel.
Took under an hour, thinking and aiming a few times.

I'll mount the cups through the top column plastic right where they are, but with screw/nut and brace as to not be weak. I will get a spare, stock column plastic cover when I do this, just for ability remove them if needed. Or, I might just leave my farmer clamp! Doesn't rally stick out or look bad!
my camera is bad, but maybe this shows locations a little better:
And, the Interceptor gauges do have Marauder Godshead as a start up screen, and can buy green lighting, white face for a factory look.

Great gauges. On my dual setup I run IAT's, Trans temp, Fuel Pressure, and cycle between Fuel Duty and Oil Temp. Best gauges money can buy IMO.
