K iv sat my boost gauge bloody everywhere and it look naff so im making a custom holder to sit right in the corner.. right there where the arrows pointing lol
The gauge will sit back a bit more but the angles perfect for driving as its in perfecto view :D
Due to it being such a weird shape, best way was to make an exact mould of the s:rolleyes:
Came out like this..
Bonded in the bracket that the gauge came with, now just to fiberglass the hole thing ready for final trimming and filler..:cool
i thought about sitting mine there interested to see how it comes out keep the pics coming
its a great place to have one, its not in the line off view and fits nice n snuggy :P
Make sure you can still see onto roundabouts; personally I hate stuff around the A-pillar :(

It should be fine bud, i use the side window for roundabouts lol
its not a bad place for a guage but as i found myself glancing at my boost guage a fair bit i have got a stearing coloum top mount one but this is a good place for another guage......egt or oil temp?

I test fitted this some time back, but never went with it.
Its for a scoob but the fit isnt that bad.

i was gunna go with the steering cowl way but the gauge blocks almost all the rev counter.. think you need to counter sink the gauge a tad lol
Some ideas;

:evillaugh :driving :evillaugh :driving
I know that there was one of those available a while ago. Miguel@Newera has one on his car. That sits between the dash and apillar.. looks very good and is not in the way.. But is discontinued I think. :(
Few updated pics, the pod sits perfect in the gap, just needs a final sand down, final coulour and a few coats of clear.. the way it sits in mean the wires wont be seen at all.. very kewl :mmmm
your a dab hand with that fibreglass stuff arent you.
you must have definatley been a keen blue peter watcher when you were younger.
so do you do your own spraying then?
Yeah taught myself it all lol.. been spraying for about a year, only in ma garage tho :P makes a huge difference if you cn spray your own parts :yes
A few with the gauge and fitted, needs more sanding lol and i`ll trim a bit more off..
what is the finish like? after spraying yourself, without a proper booth etc
I`ll say 50-50 on the finish, some times its perfect other not so good, all you need to do is colour sand and polish back up.. doddlle :)
what do you use to pollish it back up?
G3 bud.. and a huge polishing machine lol..
Hi interloper,
Would you be willing to make one for me?
Cheers Garith.
quite hard to make but cn give it a go? what gauge size we`r you thinking bud.. mine was made with the bracket that came with the gauge, best way to get a perfect circle for the face to sit into.. does your gauge have this?
Hi,
Yeah i have a 52mm gauge will be willing to send the gauge and bracket to you if you are interested. Let me know.
Cheers Garith.

boxes are alot harder lol..
A few crappy phone pics, it does the job anywho lol..
Top job, looks really well and the fit seems spot on.
looks good mate, well done.

Looks very good! :cool
I was gonna do a fiberglass holder for a guage there but I didn\'t in the end cause of lack of talent! :chat I did get the fiberglass resin cause it smells nice though! :Giggle
