Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: Gauges and Mounting

[AMC74HORNET@xxxxxxxxx]

Mine are going into the stock pod that mounts under the package tray.
All I did was remove the stock gauges and made a face out of 1/8
plexi-glass. Glued on 1/8 plexi-glass tabs taped for No# 8 sheet metal
screws to mount the face to the stock mounting holes in the pod. I added
to additional tabs and used No# 8 counter sunk chrome trim screws for
them. I used JB Weld to glue on the tabs and speeded up the curing
process by baking the the face in my dehydrator which I use for curing
the paint on my models. Once I get the gauges I will use a hole saw and
make a stiff cardboard template and mount the gauges and make sure
everything fits before cutting the holes in the plexi-glass gauge panel
face. I got about 10 hours so far into making the face plate and don't
intend to screw it up and have to start over again. To bad they don't
make a smaller diameter gauge like 1 3/4 then I could fit 4 gauges.
Getting 3 to fit will be close but doable.
