is there a good place to find gauge boxes or pods. i'm making a new dash for my truck out of diamond plate and haven't really decided how to make the gauge pods. i bought all new C2 series Auto Meter gauges and trying to figure out how to mount them. Would you put some diamond plate through the bender and then mount that to the rest of the dash from the back or would you buy a gauge pod and mount that behind the diamond plate? help please

 

Hey there,
If you get a moment, check out my gallery for some pics of my gauges....C2's huh? Wow, bet that will looks sharp, talk about close to top of the line
Anyways, if your unsure how to check my galley, just click on my name and go to view gallery. Good luck

what did you use to make your dash? i noticed it doesn't follow the origanol contour lines.

 

Hey,
I used just a piece of aluminum, 1/8" I think. The piece fits in the offset that goes around the dash area on the sides and bottom. The top I just made tall enough for the dash pad to come down and go over the top edge.

Sounds good, i was going to just cut a piece of diamond plate that would leave the outline there but cover the old dash, but that will look just as good. thanks again.
