View Full Version : Keeping autometer gauges in the pod chrisdeaner 03-26-2003, 03:33 PM I have a two pod setup on my a-pillar with autometer gauges. The boost gauge keeps sliding out like a quarter inch though. I tried using electrical tape to fatten it up a bit, but it heats up and moves when the lights are on :( anyone have something else that works? MaximusRex 03-26-2003, 03:44 PM I had the same problems with the pod also here is what I did: I took the C bracket that goes on the back of the gauge and cut off one side so it would fit on the gauge. Then I just used the nuts that came with the gauge to screw it on. That will hold it fine. When you are done cutting the C bracket it will look like an L. Hope that helps.

TaiChih 03-27-2003, 11:34 AM ooh, that's a good idea. wanderer 03-29-2003, 11:29 AM I used a hot glue gun and dabbed (ok I GLOPPED) some hot glue and has worked perfectly since. removal of the glue isn't that hard, which i have to do now due to upgrading my gauges...
