S14 d/s door vent gauge mount - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Got a idea from a buddy of mine on mounting a gauge in the driver side door air vent. Figured since I got a bunch of fiberglass laying around I'll give it a whirl. At first I was going to make a mold, but figured that would be to much of a p.i.t.a. So I decided to just build off the original piece. Pretty much almost done with it. It's made for a 60mm gauge.

I got work out some imperfections, reprimer it and then paint it.

My friend mounted his behind the vent (inside the panel)! Looks killer. Nice Job tho!

You should make more and sell these. I bet people would buy them...

I'm gonna be making another one probably here in the near future. If it turns out better than this one, then I'll think about producing a few more here and there. Still have some imperfections I want to fix on the one now.
