S13 Center Vent Gauge Plates


  • Fits LHD and RHD S13's
  • Main plate is CNC'd from 1/8" aluminum
  • Inside radius of the gauge openings are beveled so the gauge will drop in when angled
  • ABS angled rings are prepped to remove all casting nubs
  • ABS angled rings are trued on the bottom side as they do not come 100% flat
  • Main plate and rings are texture coated for OEM look
  • Painted with high quality SEM Satin Black
  • Angled plates Include aluminum mounting brackets that can be modified to fit your particular gauge(see pics below)
  • The mounts can also be modified to make a rock solid mounting system for the dash(see pics below)

(3) 52mm Gauge Plate: $45 Shipped 1 in stock



(3) 52mm Angled Gauge Plate: $75 Shipped 8 in stock



(1) 52mm and (2) 60mm Gauge Plate: $45 Shipped 1 in stock



(3) 60mm Gauge Plate: $45 Shipped 1 in stock



(1) 60mm Gauge Plate With Vents: $65 Shipped 2 in stock



(1) 60mm and (2) 52mm Gauge Plate: $45 Shipped 1 in stock



(2) 52mm Gauge Plate With Vents: $65 Shipped 0 in stock




(2) 52mm Angled Gauge Plate With Vents: $85 Shipped 5 in stock




Blank Gauge Plate: $19 Shipped 1 in stock



All Angled Gauge Setups Include Universal Brackets:



The brackets can be cut/modified to accommodate virtually any gauge. This will ensure the gauges do not budge when mounted in the plate. On top of that, the mounting bracket gives you the ability to also make a mounting system to hold the plate to the dash. You can simply tap out the center of the bracket and use some threaded rod to make a rock solid mounting system. I like to cut some aluminum strips to make "washers" and then some simple wing nuts to fasten it in the dash. The wing nuts make it simple to fasten while the dash is still in the car. You can find examples of the modified brackets and mounting system below. Note: I do not sell the mounting system, as it can vary depending on the brand and model of gauge. So I leave that to the consumer if they so choose.

Example of Modified Bracket:

I can make just about anything you want... but it would have to be a one-off. The S14 obviously doesn't have a nice vent that you just pop out and slap a piece of aluminum in it's place... like the S13 does. But I can modify your OEM HVAC panel to house whatever you want:

with the s13 vent gauge plates does the dash have to be removed to install them correctly or can you do it with the dash still in?

No, that would be much more involved. The aluminum plate would need to have pivot points for the actual vent to attach to. I kind of like the idea though... I may look into it to see what the additional cost would be.

You can Paypal me at:

[email protected]

Please enter in the comments box what the payment is for and make sure NOT to gift the payment. Also make sure your correct shipping address is associated with your Paypal account to prevent shipping delays.

I will ship the item out no later than the next after I receive payment. I ship Priority Mail which is "suppose" to take 2-3 business days.

Thanks,

Toby

I also sent a copy of this to your email.

i just got my order today, on the angled pieces since they dont come attatched to the plate are the gauges themselves supposed to hold the angled piece down to the plate when i mount them? or was it intended for me to just glue the piece on

Essentially the rings are sandwiched between the plate and gauges. Ideally you want to modify the universal brackets that come with my kit and use them to bolt to the back of your gauges. You will need to cut the legs of the brackets down to fit your particular gauges. You can see examples of this in my original post.

Note: there may be some model of gauges that don't use the typical industry standard mounting points. You may have to modify the mounting holes on the brackets to get the holes to line up with your gauge mounting points. Which you can see I had to do in the example in my original post... I had to "hog" out the mounting holes to get them to line up.

2nd Note: there is the rare case that the gauge doesn't have any provisions to mount it. In this case you will have to come up with your own way to hold the gauges to the plate.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
