V8 Swapped E30

I assume people on r3v were expecting something like this more....

They just figure you would want them out of sight and your current location would be better suited for switches of gages. For me it would seem better to try and mount them under the dash right above the pedals to have the shortest lines going down to the pedal. You dont need much room above them because you can fill them with fluid using a bottle pump=)
*Gauge's

Go, no-go earl

yeah it just seems like other, more important, things should go there. like craig said, it seems like you are trying to show them off, even though we know you arent.
second, brake fluid can get super hot/boiling under hard use. isn't it also flammable? I wouldn't want that by my face.

I wouldn't do it that way but I like the way it looks. You do you man!

I was going to put gauges there, but I already decided that I'm going to use a digital display for my cluster so I won't need most of my gauges. I mainly put my resivoirs there, because they don't fit right on the masters and to keep an eye on it if it gets too hot and the fact that I won't have to go under the dash to fill the resivoirs. I don't want to cut the dash like in the pictures because I don't want to completely destroy my dash and I'm unsure about how much space I have in the bay yet. I might make a change in the future, but all I can do is see.

I have an extra cracked dash in my garage to experiment with if you want it.

Bottle pump solves all isses=)

It's a race car, purely functional so i don't see what all the fuss is about haha.
Everyone knows that real race cars need that exact spot for mounting things like gauges that monitor super important stuff like CV grease temperature and GoPro battery life. Trust me, I'm basically an expert because I saw a spec e30 car on a trailer going the other way on a freeway one time.

how about just mount this baby on your dashboard and run some hoses.

YouBottle pump solves all isses=)
You still have to fish yourself under there to check to see if everything is full and you're still reaching under the dash to get the hose into the res. Why deal with that when everything is out in the open. That's how I look at it.

Im going to chance it with my crack free dash lol.
