<center><img src="http://ctny.audiworld.com/mark/website/boost/mvc868f.jpg"></center><p>Actually, this still may not quite be the right angle. If I recall properly, I can see the big hash marks at 0, 5 & 10, but not so much the little ones in between. I know people that have turned their gauge 90* clockwise so "0" is at the top and then they can see the entire (positive) range, but it's still easy enough for me to figure out what the reading is (ie, if the needle is half way between 5 & 10, then that's about 7-8). ergonomically, it looks better mounted this way. Even if I could have angled it towards the driver so I was looking straight on at it, I don't think I would have - There is a coolness factor to the gauge that the passengers have to be able to enjoy as well.<p>Mark P

Default What if you used the angle ring but cut the angle down just a little so it would face you

a little more, but the passanger could still see the needle moving. You can also turn the ring so it faces more up and toward you, to get the right angle.

Default Kind of. I was looking for more of a picture like the one I posted that show the steering wheel too.
