Default Cheap Glove Box Gauge Holders Mod

For those who have always wanted gauges in there glove box but did not want to spend 40 dollars per pod here is an alternative. For 18 dollars shipped you can get Glow Shift Triple Swivel Gauge Mounts.



1. From there you have to cut the neck of it in half this was they would be able to have some space in between the top and glove box so it can swivel.

2. Once done you would need to drill a hole large enough for the screw to go threw,

3. Drill another hole inside of that one that is just large enough for the head to fit in and only half as deep.

4. To get the nut stuck you will need to heat it up with a lighter just enough to melt the plastic but not fully go threw so like 20 seconds.

5. push the nut it until just a little bit is left out.

6. screw the screw in the other side and the drill hole should of been just enough for the head to fit in.

7.allow everything to cool down.

8. trim the top of the base so it will be more snug to the pod.

Not necessarily... I see plenty of ph4T civics with gauge clusters that show the outside air temp, inside air temp, and another gas gauge! All very useful and necessary
