Interior/Exterior Boost Gauge
#26
Here is my solution. I used Autometer gauges, the Autometer cups , and a homemade mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is made from 1" x 7" x 1/8" aluminum bar (Home Depot, Lowes, etc...) and 1/2" round aluminum stock. I tapped the 1/2" stock for 1/4-20 button head socket screws. I then drilled a hole in the side of the round stock, cut a notch into the flat bar, inserted the flat bar into the hole, a little welding later, it was secured. Then cleaned up the weld, a little plastic filler (bondo) for smoothness and then a coat of flat black paint. I later found out that JB Weld works just as good, another project, and is easier to use and finish. I was considering making and selling these, but got too busy with my real job and other toys.
I had talked about this in another thread around here but I'm too lazy to search for it.
Here's a link to pictures of the finished product mounted. Enjoy!

Each pod is fixed in place with 2 screws. They sit almost even with the Tech, with 1/2" offset at most. However, the pod can slide outward or inward if desire. In addition, the ring holding the pod can pivot to optimize driver's best viewing position. I also mounted 2 black license plate screw caps to hide the screws. :smile:

Thanks for your input Dave. I was lucky that my alta pod was back ordered so I cancelled the order and went with your setup. I realy like the way your setup looks over the alta pod look. Thanks for saving me $ plus giving a better look. Should have me pods and gauges in today.
