I'm editing this thread to just be a general 3D printable items thread. I also added an adaptor ring to allow a Speedhut Tach to fit in our dash holes.

I added onto the dummy ashtray model available online and made a pod for my boost gauge. Looks good and is definitely easy to see. I'll attach the .stl file in the comments if I can.

Enjoy.

Can't attach the file. DM me and I'll email it to you if you want it.

I had a big 65mm gauge. I'll make a version for 52mm. Might even be able to squeeze two 52s on there.

Personally speaking, a two gauge pod would be most desirable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Many years ago I had a 2-gauge rubber mount that fit the tray opening perfectly. Had to run screws up into the dash to hold it, so a variation of this that slides in on the tray rails would be ideal.

Upload the CAD file and/or STEP to somewhere like MyMiniFactory or (shudder) Thingiverse. Think linky.

Here is the link to myminifactory. I don't know when it will be approved but I can't imagine why it wouldn't be.

Both sizes. 52mm and 65mm. Two 52mm won't fit although there might be a way if they stick out a lot.

There is a rubber VDO dual gauge mount in the classifieds, maybe along that design? I seem to remember the back of the gauges would just clear the dash underneath.

Is that rubber mount supposed to use the ashtray slider screw holes?

Not sure if 'supposed to', but I think that is what I did with mine (long ago) and the one in the classifieds appears to have a couple holes in the top . If I recall, the screws went upwards from the gauge openings, then once it was secured, the gauges were pushed into the openings. Having a bracket that slides on the ashtray rails would be much nicer...

any chance you could pm me the cad file? I was able to make some mods to the stl in freecad but when I try to cut the original structure it errors out. There is probably some overly complicated way to fix that but I can't be bothered.

I'm using tinkercad. It's hobbled so all I can export are .obj and .stl

Requires drilling two holes for sheet metal screws.
Vintage VDO part... if you can find it.

here is my mod. Now its a cell phone holder. It will hold a phone up to 80mm wide and 14mm thick.

It's on thingiverse.

It wouldn't be difficult to add two pods. Not sure if the 'pipe' in the current design is big enough for all of the wires for two guages.
