DIY Gauge Holder / Pod

[type_one]

This are my DIY gauge holders....:regular_smile: Very amateur..heheh
Comments are welcomed...

Material used:

1 x Plastic Clipboard (forgot how much)
2 x 2" PVC Hose Elbow (RM2 each)
1 x Spray Paint (RM5)
1 x Anti Slip Mat
Double-sided tape, Some sponge, 14-gauge wires, sand paper

I chose to use the dashboard aircond outlet to place my gauges, as the empty space inside would make it easier to hide the wires..

The PVC elbow i used - Before spraying it black..

The plastic clipboard, cut according to the aircond outlet cover (pic1), then holes are drilled accordingly to fit the PVC elbow.. edges are sand-papered so it'll fit properly.

Cut anti slip mat to cover the clipboard, i didn't intend to spray it..

The gauges are prepped by running the wires longer, then attaching some sponge around it in order for it to fit snugly in the PVC elbow..(The elbow's slightly larger than the gauges)

Gauges are inserted into the PVC elbows, then into the clipboard..wires are cabled-tied together..

Necessary covers are removed for the installation..wires are run through, and wired up, then tested...everything ok..
