aux heat gauge

well I am going to flush my system and at the same time I was thinking of installing my aux temp gauge in one of the motor drain cocks there is one on the drivers side and one one the passengers side.
before I do this has anyone else placed a gauge in one of these motor drain cocks.
or is this not a good location

Avoid drilling in the dash....having holes there if you ever decided to remove them would suck. I'd think about it long and hard before drilling....I don't think i could bring myself to do it.
