Ya I've seen that one. And the same thing in black is probably what I'l end up getting. But I don't think that is what I saw. These looked adjustable on more than just one pivot axis. It almost seemed like a ball-joint type of mount.
There is a crappy little ball-joint mount on eBay (http://tinyurl.com/rufh6) but the cup is ABS, and looks it. Something like that but with a metal or c/f cup would be perfect.
I may have to get the Autometer cup and make something. I may order both the c/f cup and the black cup and see which one looks better, and then use the other to practice fab'ing a ball-pivot mount.
Hmmm

I'm trying to find a nice way to mount a single 2 1/16" gauge on the a-pillar. A single pod seems the only way to go so far. But I'd like to to a gauge-cup clamped in a ring which is mounted to the pillar via some sort of adjustable pivot mount.
I've seen such a thing at HIN and shows, but have no idea where the pivot mount comes from. Anyone seen these?

That is sooooo cool!
Got a write up for that? I wanna mount my G-Tech like that too, I'm tired of the suction part failling and falling off my windshield while i'm driving. What's all the switches for?

No writeup. It's easy. Step 1. Gather all the equipment (all referenced in other threads here). Step 2. Go to a reputable local custom shop and have them do the work. :-)
Seriously though, I tried cutting that plate to hold all the instruments and I just couldn't do it. Somewhere between necessary skills and precision tools I found myself deciding to get a pro to do it. Worth it too, cuz it came out great.
The four switches are not fully utilized yet.
Switch #1: Controls power to the Z's Yaw Sensor. Flipping this switch turns off the Yaw Sensor thus completely eliminating any "backup" VDC functionality.
Switch #2: Controls power to the Gtech so I can turn it on or off, and it's not just switched by the ignition.
Switch #3: Will eventually control power to my AEM AFR gauge, so I can choose whether or not I want to deal with the extra information.
Switch #4: Unused (I like to build-in upgradeability)
Thx! :-)
