Gauge Mounting Dilema
Should I waste 30 bucks on a gauge pod to mount my gauges... or should I be ghetto and come up with cheaper way to do it...
Just look at my name.. and you tell me...
Well i found this really interesting way to mount my gauges.. after Eletrical tape and zip-ties failed...
You get 1 gauge... break those stupid fastening screws off the back of it.
Get 1 2.5in (dia) Hose clamp, Drill a small hole big enough for a screw to fit through...
Look for an area to mount your gauge...
Proceed to screw in hose clamp....
Once hose clamp is secured, place gauge in clamp and tighten...
and you have mounted a gauge securly, reliably, and cheaply, for less than a buck.
will post pic tommorow....

if you have a crx,that cubby hole below your radio can be used. Take a sheet of alumanim or have ever you spell it nd cut it the size from the bottom of you radio to the bottom of the cubby hole then screw it on. You might have to cut the cubby out so the gauges will fit. To make it look cooler use hex head screws. You get about three gauges.
