Yes, it is really popular with the air/hydraulics crowd. Nice location if you don't need or use the computer. I think there are a few companies making them for the 2 1/16 gauge sizes.
BTW I like it....

Very nice looking. I mounted my boost gauge there on my last truck when I had the whipple on. Just mounted them flush with the front using the cover as a template. Problem was the gauge faced straight back, which wasn't all that convenient to look at. This mount looks like it points the gauges at the driver a little, which would be better.

I'd prefer this over a pillar mount since its less visible from outside the truck.

I resemble that remark!!


BTW, how much is it. I've been wanting to do that for a while, but like BigTex said, I didn't want them facing straight back.

Edit..$125
