OK to wire gauges in tandem?

Haha, I know the picture is crude, but it gets the point across. Is is o.k. to wire three gauges in tandem like this? Currently I only have a single boost gauge wired up, but plan on going to the three gauge pod A-pillar.

As far as grounds you should be fine. There is most everything around the instrument panel on one ground per shop manual, that is the same ground alot of guys use for the gauges, the metal piece your kick panel bolts into up top. As far as power, I would not try that if it can be helped, your fuse box has many IGN1 for a tap into a 12V source, atleast 3 I can think of off hand. Good question though, need to know what to do for power when you "out-tap" the fuse box. Unless you run a longer terminal off of the battery and put a fusible link in for each gauge. The fusible link/postive bat. cable relocation kit I have from Caspers is ideal for that situation.
