Tiny Little Bit Of Fabrication

[Bass Junky]

Hey guys.

I made up a very very simple bracket to hold some gauges against the standard R34 3 gauge pod.

Pics below.

Very simple, very easy.

Four holes, four bends. 3 nutserts, 3 socket head cap screws and 3 brass locking nuts. Three large bolt heads with some sunk holes to hold the end of the screw in.

easy.

so the Allen key bolts just push against the back of the guage to hold them in place?

i like those threaded rivets, but they arent a cheap tool from what i have seen of them, but i want to get one oneday.

Looks good Bass

Yeah the nutserts are great. You need a special tool to press them in by they are as good a tapping a hole in solid plate when they are installed.

I just took it to a friend of mine who owns a sheetmetal and fabrication company and he pressed them in for me. Is a 30 second job with the right tools.

Handy piece of gear.

Fancy way to mount some fancy gauges

Slightly off topic - Can the screws on the back of Defi's be undone for mounting purposes, or would something fall off inside? Always wonderered, never been game to try...

Not sure about that to tell you the truth.

But next tim I would have used the standard Plastic hoods and push on them instead.

Therefore keeping the pressure right around the outside.
