What did you make that little thing in your change holder out of that holds the gauge? I need one for my nitrous gauge lol
I used some russian birch (nice solid plywood) to make a little table looking thing and then put a piece of lexan (plexiglass) on top of it and used spray adhesive to hold them together. I drilled a hole with a hole saw just slightly smaller then needed and used a sander to bore it out a lil so it didnt chip out. Then I spray painted it black with some paint i picked up for lexan (plastic paint) and after drying installed. I put two screws inot the legs on the side and there is a bracket on the back side that holds the gauge in....there is even room for a switch or two in there if you wanted to go extra N20 stealthy ;)

Thanks man! I'm gonna give it a shot today. I have some plexy glass that I'm gonna try it with. If I can get it cut out right then I may try to do it with some stainless steel.
