Along with defi like meter...here is khguan mounting-like DIY mounting braket :lol: :lol:

Put the meter into braket then mount the meter at the pillar :)

 

[jaywat]

Done at 7:30pm, with spanar, plier, and wires all around the car.... :lol:

nice job man .... very creative placing n wraping ... good ... 10/10 to you :lol: :)

 

[khguan]

haha :lol: nice job.. using Defi lookalike meters n khguan lookalike mountings :lol: :lol:

but de mounting seems a little long from de pillar to ur meter.. wouldnt de meter vibrate when ur car is moving?

i think it would look nicer if de bolts are shorter.. B)

Rm88 is good buy for the smoked 270 vacuum meter. Is the reading clear when not lighted in daytime?

Actually i found this gauge thru lelong one....after bought from him only i know he is also ZTHian hahaha...world is so small...u can search his sales thread in Sales and Advertisement section. or search for gauge in lelong lo B)

 

[khguan]

dude... did u cover de side of ur meter wit any sticker or something ah?

or just leave it like dat? ur pics when mounted seems a bit dark...

 

[jaywat]

No...i just leave it like that only...i cannot find anything around me to make the cover....maybe will DIY a cover for it very soon,....using...coke tin.... :lol: :lol: ...why???

HEre is the pic of connection...

The orange air hose is connected to the microcompressor...i tap from there instead of pcv hose itself because i don't want to cut the original black hose mar B)

Where did u get the T-Joint?
From car spare shop ?

 

[khguan]

jaywat,
i just use black matt sticker to stick around de meter.. looks better than de original color.

fishfan,
de T-joint u can get it from hardware shop... but jaywat's T-joint seems a little diff... 2 big n 1 small joint... come together with de meter?

 

[khguan]

jaywat,
hey i noticed dat u r using de same grounding kit as me... :lol:

 

[jaywat]

U can get the t-joint in any hardware shop...but those t-joint mouth is bigger, so the hose come with vacuum meter cannot fit in... :)

But don't worry..all u need is come with the meter..in the box B)
