Could do some black screws tho. Or make em black. And ya, angled works better for viewing. Al least I found that as true when last yr, I was figurin how to mount em in OH. Too bad, I gotta recheck my dimensions again b4 I make mine. But that's the simple part.

All you gotta do is attach the velcro sticky stuff and slap it on.
ATM-18022 from Summit for $52 is > 1/2 of what I was gonna spend on a mount. But doin your own can be cool too.

I got a gauge pod from him for the overhead console and it's pretty sweet. He might be able to do some custom stuff.

He just made me one for my driver's side vent- came out great.

They sell offset rings on Summit I believe so all you've really gotta round up is a nice piece of plate or backing, the rings will position the gauges how you want

These are Prosport gauges.

Ignore the cup holder area, its a work in progress






I ask same to u. What epoxy brand or p/n (s) didja use?
Looks good. As far as the work in progress part, who cares, it's a 6 spd. And ya, while John's looks *******, a 6 spd. is ******* & then some.

After spendin major coin on a L7 65E & stall, IDK if I can ever part w/. em, but I sure do love a 6M!!!

Not that I don't think my tranny combo isn't strong, cause it is, but a 6M is just, flat out, the ****!!!
Goin to a 6 spd. manual may be my main regret w/. my truck. Perhaps, only regret. The thought just scared me of sourcing pedals, decent T56, but gettin tune mainly tho.
