Default Gauge Mount in door

Not sure if this is in the right place but here goes
was asked to post a small write up.

I had a damaged air vent in drivers door, so i decided to put my wide band AFR into the vent.

Pull door out get vent out completely

Split it from the clips behind

Behind the Vent

Put gauge in to see it fits 52mm

Took a dremmel to the Inside of the clip just work through it bit by bit until the gauge fits flush on either side


Once fitted i Used some epoxy to tack it on either side of the vent


Covered it in Red Vinal (going to plastidip this rather)

Final product

Note
ran the wire through the speaker cable insert down to the Fuse box, where i wired it up.
Undeneath i had the bung welded in just below where the manifold joins (works a charm) ran the cables up and through the brake fluid area.



And the final outlay







FYI while i had door of i sprayed the interior parts aswell


And ill throw this in just for the hell of it
i put a samsung p6200 tablet into my cubby area.

Actually put an afr as a tuning tool for myself, it's surprisingly easy to catch it out corner of your eye when tracking ect, but not the intended purpose.
On a dyno at least u can see live when making changes ect

No condensation at all hey, but I live in a fantastic climate
