Vent Gauge Holder

Kevin,

I'd say you'd sell a batch of 50 no problem, once they're made nd available with definitive price.

I'd take three once the price is tight.

Thanks.

your right Ken, had that dash for 6months!!!

why not just buy one and copy it??

why not just buy one and copy it??

Cos it could be done better....

Not into just ripping off other peeps design's... If you are gonna do it - do it better....

[cooperquattro]

then why has kev copyed various parts from different makers with no modification or improvement??

Anything he's done for me or that I have bought have been improved over the original...

If he's making stuff for other people & if they have told him to make it to their spec then that's up to them and not an issue for Kev...

That's got nowt to do with Kev on this item... Did you miss the post that said "I" have asked Kev to make this, it not up to Kev if I am getting it made to my improved spec!!

[cooperquattro]

how can you say your improved spec is better than the original,that is just personal choice

WTF you on about???

It will be a better fit, I am looking to make it easier to take back out other than having it glued into place... How can you say that that's not an improvement "just a personal choice"...

Besides it not even in production yet... so it cant be compared, but it will be a better spec!!

Do you even have one of these???

So was it known that they did not fit correctly and needed to be glued in? LOL where was I?

Not when I bought one...

Don't get me wrong it's not a crap item...

It could just be made a little better...

I hate having it glued in place, just in case I want to take it back out I can't without wrecking the dash...

[Mcstiff]

Yeah, I finally got a VEMS lambda gauge and was surprised at the fit. I think I'll grind an angle into the back edge and maybe silicone it in.

I was gonna get a few of these made up with help from a dude at work here. I even drew a design up after measuring one I got from ebay.de (attached). It turned out to be a non-starter though as the said dude from work was too greedy..

[Le S2 Audi]

Nice drawing!!

I bought one of these boost gauge surrounds from ebay.de and there is a better way of fitting them than by using glue...

the surrond itself has no way of clipping in. Pretty naff to be honest, so I ended up modifying the boost gauge bracket to hold the whole assembely in place

remove centre console and air vents


the boost gauge and surround will just drop in




take the gauge bracket


cut the ends off and fold it up to look like this


bolt it in (the feet of the bracket sit on the edges of the vent dividers)


refit centre console


refit switches and bling alpine stereo

hope that helps anyone who has bought a normal bracket

Oh and as with most gauge installations you loose the flap to shut off air coming through but no big deal.
