Gauge pod? Plexy Glass!

Post by sublunacy »

Hey I had an accelorometer i needed to mount tightly, out of the way. What I found was the spot Above the rear view mirror!

I didn't have any nice metal around to cut and bend that would still be stiff so i used plexy glass. HAHA its a Plexyglass menu holder off a restraunt table.......

any way here's some pics, any questions just ask!

i needed to shape it si I could still get the battery's out.

Side view looks much better in car....

If you like that, check out my "pressure treat gauge cluster" made out of a 2 by 4...hah

You can see the turbo timer near the ignition.

My Read memory Switch & Test memory switch =] room for more too!

Also the rear speaker dash also black felt, looks sweet!!

}If you think its tight in there send me some Whoop whoops!!!

I like the plexy mount. That's pretty ingenious.

Plexy is pretty decent to work with. Heat up, shape it, and it hardens again. So you can get some intricate shapes/bends relatively easy.

Great idea on the plexi mount. Now I've got to find something to mount up there....
