Argh! Mounting gauge

[nikp]

Argh! I have my wideband gauge all wired up and working. Just need to put the whole lot back together for RS now. However, the problem is I don\'t know what to do about the gauge. I am planning on having it on the dash just above the central speaker. It\'s approx 52mm wide. It has a U shaped bracket that is bolted onto the back.

I tried attaching it using double side tape, but because the contact area of the gauge is small, it didn\'t hold. I have been thinking about making another u shaped bracket to bolt to the other bracket and using some double sided sticky tape on that to stick it to the dash board.

I don\'t know why I\'m telling anyone, as no-one can really help. It\'s just there\'s a lot to put back together, and I only have 3 evenings to do it! Argh!

if its 52 mm wide cant you fit it in to a pod either a pillar or dash mounted

[nikp]

dunno! What sort of 52mm gauge mounts are there!!?

Gary sells the dash pods, I got mine fitted 60mm version.
or superglue it lol

I like the superglue idea!

Cheers Mark, I\'ll check out Gary\'s site.

If its square best bet is to use hook and loop tape. My commander is stuck on that way

Is it a round gauge or square ?

If its just a bodge you want to get it on for now try a jubilee clip round the gauge and before you tighten the clip fit a flat peice of plastic/card etc inside the jubilee then tighten down.
 
Use the flat piece to stick to your dash with double sided sticky pads etc.
 
 
 
A proper bodge really.
 
 
 
 
In fact im a bit ashamed to suggest it:3Confused

I really like that idea!

However, i have something sorted. It\'s only one \'bodge level\' above yours!! But it works, and thats the important thing. It won\'t be falling in my lap going down the strip.
