Boost gauge positioning

[CANDEE]

The gauge size is too small, unless you have autometer gauges, but its on the wrong side, should be on the other side covering the AYC bars like this:

We have different steering covers than an Evo 8 don't we?

 

[naughtika]

i know its not a direct fit.. but seeing that.. we should be able to mod and make it fit to our stock ones right?

dremel is your friend

 

[leggei007]

Dremel is always our best friend when we need to modify anything in our rides

nvm... lack of readign comprehension ftl

This is the gauge pod that i made as a replacement for the clock, n I was thinking of putting larger gauges in but they just didn't match with the other gauges that I've already got.

Heres mine...

 

[leggei007]

That looks nice mike, but I have mine on the lower section of the A pillar by using a cup. But I had to have some more gauges to tell what my motor is doing

Mines located above the drivers side air vent hanging from the windscreen with double sided tape, that way If I sell the car, there are no holes in the dash and is easily removed I also didn't need to drill the firewall as I ran the vacuum tube through the quarter panel holes

 

[vr4cobra]

yeah i have mine same spot above drivers air vent mounted with double sided tape and run thro quater pannel holes then up side of dash, no holes

i wouldnt mind having a 3 or 2 port cluster where the clock is tho think it would look better and cover up my faulty clock

 

[R Kilburn]

Yeah I was thinking about that but the clock is an easy fix

I have been trying to find a broken clock to take to a fiberglasser and get a quote to make some for its but haven't been able to get my hands on one yet. Its the best spot i think.

 

[leggei007]

Have a look at my first try at a gauge pod that holds 3 gauges, oil pressure n temp plus volts........ it was first attempt n found it was way to big n didn't look right at the driver which is y I've now pulled apart n reworked it, new pics to follow soon.

 

[Poita]

Pics?

 

[leggei007]

They r on the way as the paint started to crack due to the heat but they will b done by the end of the week if everything goes according to plan. This is the previous pod I made n didn't like it n that's y I re designed it, n as u can tell it looks way too big

[Poita]

yeah, way too big!

 

[leggei007]

I'll have some pics up next week, work has picked up a bit n I should have it finished next week as the cruise is on the 11th. Plus alot of friendly ppl advised me to redesign it n I agreed n finally did it

I'm looking at trying to modify one of these to fit and replace the clock. Will let you guys know how I go.
