I want to get a boost gauge for my car, is there anyway that i can mount beside [size=2]tachometer[/size]?
since id ont' want to spend $155 for a alta mounting bracket.

 

check out the ATI ePod for the mini

This is a custom pod that I made...

 

Dan,

Any plans to market this gauge pod?

With a little heat gun action, it molds up pretty nice...

Though if I did it again.. I'd trim it a bit

 

what about the airbags? doesn't that piece pop off when the bag deploys?

 

That was the first thing I thought of El. I can sort of visualize a boost guage impression on one's forehead . Maybe Dan checked into this and found-out that it deploys in such a way that it wouldn't be a problem. I certainly hope so...

 

will be interesting to find out...

 

that's it. these guage mounts are just ridiculously expensive.

i'm going to embed them into my arm, and attach a wire to human interface. I will become one.

 

I mounted mine in the sun visor

 

The Bag Deploys from the Headliner area above the door, not from the pillar area. The Pillar only houses the charge that will expand the Air Bag. Because of that, It is not a concern of mine about flying boost gauges.

 

here is an alternate:

 

thanks for the clarification Dan....

 

I am still shocked over the prices of MINI stuff. Maybe I am just used to cheap domestic parts. I can't see how a piece of aluminum can cost me $164.

 

Mine's ghetto (velcro in the instrument cluster butt crack) but it does the trick:

 

Good to hear Dan! I won't have any bad dreams tonight .

I have the "typical" oil pressure & boost (30/30) a la PROMINI on the column. From Summit Racing I got a voltmeter and oil temp gauges (the same Autometer series) and I plan to mount them, along with a Stuart Warner shift light, under the toggles with a home-made plate of some type...

 

It's your head, but I wouldn't put a gauge there. FWIW, the gas generator that inflates the bag is at the rear of the car under the rear side windows. The airbag itself extends along the top of the windows along the edge of the headliner partway down into the A-pillar.

That A-pillar is going to need to get out of the way of that airbag when it deploys.

 

How are these mounted? looks cool.

 

it also looks really complicated, wouldnt the steering wheel get in the way of the gauges?

 

Jlm...how'd you do that:smile:

 

helix can set you up; the bracket is a simple install and can be made to hold two, three or four gauges for a car with or without nav. the gauges are aoutometer. visibility is not 100%, but is workable.

 

I believe I still have a single guage mount(Mount of the Tach) and boost guage(Autometer electronic w/ peak boost hold) at home for sale .

 

unfortunately, every one of those shown so far are out of the normal driving view - either too far to the left (a-pillar) or blocked by the beefy steering wheel spokes.... so i did something a little different.....



painted to match the SILVER interior trim.... more available soon!!

 

i wondering which is the least expensive way to mount the boost gauge?and to be look good too.. like mount it right beside tach.
can i get those autometer pod and find something mount on the tach?

 

Here's my boost gauge, back grounds now been change to green - its better than the red back ground
