I am about to add oil and water temperature gauges to my 2004 R53 and I like both the offerings from Alta and Craven.

I like the simplicity of the Alta but am worried about how sturdy they hold the gauges. The Craven looks more durable but the cost reflects this. My car is no longer a daily driver and will soon be a track car mostly so I am worried about the Alta holders given the harshness and vibration from all the engine & suspension work I have done.

Please let me know what you have experienced. I know there re tons of home made examples out there and I could do the same but I just don't have the time these days.

Thanks!

 

Have you take a look at this Vent Gauge Pod by Auto Tech Interiors

I have seen those but since I do drive the car on the street one or two days a week, I just can't eliminate the AC flow considering I live in Miami. It would be fine on track days but not in August/September afternoons.
