well... got me a new toy.
a sunpro tacometer
so i get to know how fast my motor really is going

first problem to solve is where to mount, i decided to go with the practical pillar mount
.
.
.
one problem with the 2" pod that i already had...


the gauge is 2&5/8"s




so. its time to break out the fiberglass skills...


I started off by making a tube to fit the gauge and trimmed the pod to fit it....




did a test fit
then i trimmed it a little more...



then i decided i didnt like how it would end up so i went a little further into it


shaped it to match the subwoofer box and glassed for good



and so far i've gotten all the way to be able to test fit....




im a fan...

 

I was looking at the pillar mounts to put tweeters in but they are to small, I like what you did. I'm going to have to make 2 of those for my speakers.

 

too bad you live up north id offer to make em for ya but the shipping aint worth it

 

I'm just 5 min. from Buffalo,NY. I'll keep the offer in mind and see if I can make a side trip when I go to spring Canfield swap meet

 

cool, if you want to give me specs and stuff i could have it done before you get down here, provided you give me time...

 

hey batman where do you get all of your fiberglass supplies from im thinkin about makin a new center console for my truck or just a box between my bench seat and my dash so i can mount my cb in it as well as put some more power outlets there and cup holders

 

um the junk im using is bondo, from autozone,
its no bueno but i can work with it,
