    Air vent boost gauge pod

    After seeing a few of these I have decided to make one for myself, having access to a laser cutter helps!

    First a backing plate 3mm acrylic





    Then a front piece out of 5mm acrylic with tricky tabs cut out and holes for the standard plastic connection









    All fitted



    With gauge





    Without a backing plate





    Hoping to fit this in the car once I've given it a proper spraying in satin black, as I only had a tiny amount left in the spray can, as the donor air vent was a grey eBay job. It's a snug fit, I think you could fit it either with the backing plate and no bracket which means you could put it forward if needed, or with just the front plate and the bracket for a more permanent fit.

    Might be tempted to knock up a few if people are interested

    That's a cracking job you've done there.
    I like my air con too much to lose a vent so I modified the speedo cowl to take a gauge
