2011.01.02 - Gauge Panel
- Fabricated 2-gauge panel from scrap aluminum
- Painted gauge panel black
- Mounted XD-16 gauge in panel
- Mounted panel to gauge cluster hood
Fabricating the panel itself went surprisingly quickly and easily, however fabricating and attaching the little brackets was a slow and aggravating process. It was dark by the time I mounted it, but I think it's going to look pretty good even in the day light.
$15.14 - Stainless hardware for mounting gauge panel
* This was probably about 3x as expensive as it should have been. I ended up getting the nuts and bolts and whatnot from Home Depot, because Brazos Fasteners and Lake Hardware are closed on Sundays and I really wanted to wrap this thing up tonight.
