I'm installing these digital gauges, and while i can probably figure out where to put the "brain", if someone has already done it, id rather not have to use MY brain to do it.
Any thoughts appreciated!

I have a 79 Cherokee and mounted my brain behind the gauges, off to the left and on the firewall, but I'm not sure what kind of room you have behind yours. Sorry, I don't have a pic.

I havent finished the install yet but I planned on putting mine right behind the gauges, there is plenty of room in mine since the stock gauages were deeper. I wasnt even going to mount it, just set it in there.

Yeah, Thats kind of what I ended up doing. I may eventually just get some sticky back Velcro and stick it to the back of the Gauges. But I need to have the button accessible for set up for now. . (Im not driving it yet. )
