Autometer Boost Gauge

[skyliner33wa]

I just got an Autometer boost gauge, the white one and was wondering if anyone knows where it can be mounted, rather than the pillar. Just want to put it somewhere where i can see it whilst driving, but thieves can't when looking into my car?

Also, they are pretty easy to install right? Anyone done their own before?

Cheers

use your imagination, they can be installed anywhere

if you get the mounting bracket u can put it either side of the steering column, in air vents, the DIN slot under the stereo

Hmm,

I'm not very creative when it comes to things like this, knowing me i'll put it somewhere and it will just shit me and i will have to move it and leave holes where it was.

Do you have one adam? and if so where did you put yours?

cheers

I put mine on the bottom of the A-Pillar Near that little vent thing. Perfect for vision, unless your a short-ass and can't see over the steering wheel

dont bother with the din slot - you'll never be able to see the needle over the lip of the gauge.

been there.

be like me - tough and dangerous - and zip tie the baarstard to the vent - it's cheap and it's functional...and you get extra street cred for being tough and povvo like me.

hahaha good one, thanks guys, i'll just have to put it somewhere until i'm happy with it,

cheers

Zanda,

If that is the case, you car must have lots of street cred hehehe isnt held together by zip ties.

Sits back waiting to be spanked :shake:

skyliner33wa, Just use some double sided tape, so you can change positions without leaving permanent marks:D

[skyliner33wa]

very true will do, but need the strong shit, i can't ever seem to find it though, you know where i can look?

cheers

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I'm sure Bunnings will sell it:D

They sell large rolls of 100 Mile an Hour tape for about $8 not a bad price.

:ak47:

[zanda]

for hard core double sided tape, get the mirror fixing tape - it's designed to hold mirrors on the wall.

it sticks like a bad metaphor.

bad metaphor ROFL ROFL

[docile]

hahaha sounds familiar and just as dodgy Paul!!!

double sided tape probably wont work, because it doesnt stick to the dash and stuff very well (unless its on a flat bit).

Just go a DECENT pillar mount and do it properly the first time. It looks the best IMHO and is the most conveniant method

Trust me...... i know these things (isn't that rite paul )

[skyliner33wa]

I guess that will be the easiest way docile. Anyone know where i can find a pillar mount in wa for the Autometer 2 5/8" gauge?

sorry and thanks again

Kris

[adam 32]

i put mine to the side of the steering wheel

in the 32s its different though so you wont be able to do the same thing unfortauntely

[docile]

yeh it will work out the easiest

I have a cheap imitation style pillar mount, which does the job. it looks kinda shithouse though. I bought it from Motoquipe (not a bad little semi-rice shop in floreat) for like $20

Places like supercheap etc sell universal pillar mounts, but for a proper moulded one for a 33, your looking at $$$.

The skyline i almost bought had a boost guage mounted just behind the steering wheel too. That looked pretty good too. I've got some pics if you want them (email i guess).

[skyliner33wa]

thanks docile, i will see what i can find, Might try carquest in perth, yeah pics would be good thanks,

can you please send them to kellery@bigpond.net.au,

thanks for all your help
