Has anyone added an ambient temp gauge? 900

That's what I'm figuring on. I won't spend THAT kind of money on it.

The 240 gauge is way different than the 700/900 series gauge... unless.... you mounted it in a pod on the A pillar.

Hm...

The 940 gauge slides into a little rectangular spot in the instrument cluster. I ran across the same thing on Borton's website, with the temp gauge for the up to 88 model 760. In 1991 they cut the upper corners of the cluster off to give the dash a different look than the 90 and earlier models. That ate 2 gauge spots that would ordinarily be available for putting in a temperature gauge.

So the only way to get around it is to either pony up the dough for Volvo's gauge (or steal it from another 940), or mount a round one in the A pillar pod, which I doubt I'd do anyway. But someone might...

Thanks for the response.
