I like my 4 gauge. I fabbed up a sheetmetal bracket to hold the gauge pod in place from instructions on this forum. Basically you pull the overhead console a part and mount your fabricated bracket to that. I just put some doublesided tape on the windshield to avoid rattles (didn't pull the adhesive strip to the windshield). Double sided tape in Utah doesn't work out to well in most cases (and with how often we go through glass out here, it's not exactly windshield friendly) due to heat/cold extremes.


My Autometer pyro and boost gauge came with enough wire, tube (just) to not need an extension.

Do you have more info, pics, or a link to the sheetmetal bracket for overhead gauge mount?

No stinking Velcro on the overhead pod! - TDR Roundtable



The TDR link's pictures are worth 2000 words. I just pulled the console apart as shown and used a piece of manila folder for a template, then cut it out in sheetmetal. Double sided tape DOES NOT WORK in Utah on windshields or most other things (how emblems stay on, I'll never know ;) )

I've had this mounted for about 4-5 months and the only issue I have is the boost gauge gets pinned against the back of the overhead pod. If I don't monkey with it, it seems fine, but when I was still installing the other three gauges all the R&R made the boost hose quite brittle and created a leak. I'd like to find some kind of 90* fitting for the back of the boost gauge, but haven't had another leak since.
