temporary gauge/meter mounting idea - 05/31/17 10:54 PM

Just throwing out a little idea if anyone needs to borrow or steal it.

This is bonehead/caveman simple and really nothing earth-shatteringly amazing, but if you're ever in a situation where you want a temporary gauge it works well.

All it is...is e8@y item 271533449856 with a hole drilled in it.
Cost 6 bucks.

I thought f.a.s.t. (comp) price of $55 for a suction cup mount was silly, so I made basically the same thing.

You could use velcro on it or tape, or whatever makes sense.

I've tried a couple other things, this is the current favorite.

I admit I've used duct tape and alot of other things before coming up with this. What have you used?

I did the same thing with my LM2. I bought a plastic disc and stuck it to part of the shifter cover on my TA shifter. Then I just stuck the suction cup on that, worked great and only ever fell off if the temperature swung a lot.

I am eventually going to get around to mounting a tablet in my car to use as a race pack style dash, i believe velcro will come in handy there.

Nice set up !! I really want to set up an A/F meter in my Challenger.

For my LM2, I used a quick-release camera mount for a tripod, then made a bracket off my gauge console
