carbon scangauge bracket

Whipped up a mold and made this last night.
Too bad you can't see it when it's in use.
Sure is light too!

This is the perfect place to put it:

ScanGaugeII Install DIY

Thanks Dave777

I put the things I need to see easily on the RH side and other stuff on the left side.
The gauge Just fits in the space.

Not for all of us unfortunately. I am too short to see that space when I drive.

How will you secure the Scangauge to your bracket? Will you screw the bracket to the dash as in the previous example? I'm not fond of the idea of drilling holes in my new dash - especially for a piece of electronics that will be outdated/dead in 2 years.

Why do you think it will be outdated/dead in two years? I had my first one for three years and it's still running flawlessly in the car I sold. It just provides basic information about the engine and economy that will never be outdated, IMHO. And, there are numerous examples on here of how to mount it without drilling any holes, using magnets, velcro or two sided tape.

Sure,
After looking at the MAcarbon catalog yesterday, $350 would be "fair".
How about $15?
