Additional gauge mounts
If you are looking into adding additional gauges to your H2, this may be of interest.
After reading comments on the site about different ways to mount extra gauges, I settled on the following:- I purchased the Lingenfelter Performance Engineering mount that replaces the molded cover around the driver-side air conditioning vent, and comes with an Autometer boost gauge (very expensive at $300!). Looks very good, and matches perfectly the color/texture of the H2 dash molding.
- I purchased the two-gauge mount made especially for the H2 by Autometer (#15022 - inexpensive at $45). The mount fits very well as can be seen in the attached photo. The color/texture is not as perfectly matched as the Lingenfelter, but is acceptable. In this I have mounted two pyrometers ? one for each cylinder bank.
- As I cannot use the OnStar system in Ecuador, I ripped it out and installed three gauges in its place. This includes two water temperature gauges to measure the Vortech supercharger intercooler input and output air temperatures (yes, I use a water temperature gauge and sensor to measure air temperature), and a soon-to-arrive wideband air/fuel ratio gauge from Autometer. (I have temporarily filled the empty gauge opening with a faulty water temperature gauge).
