I've finally created a pic of the stereo bracket/cupholder unit with 3 gauge mounts instead of a cubbyhole (I posted this in another thread, but it was kind of off-topic)

n.b. - thanks to Alex for providing the 'gauges'

 

Interesting idea.

 

That looks pretty cool, nice and clean.

 

When I get a little money, I'll be sure to order one from you.

 

Nice job Manntis. Can we see a pic of it with the cupholder deployed? Also, what size are the gauges?

 

The gauge holes are to fit standard 52mm gauges.

Here's a pic of the cupholder deployed on the prototype (note the car is in 1st gear in this shot - no clearance probs... also note the prototype didn't have the stainless steel facia, so looks like the Black Hole of Calcutta)

 

Manntis: I know this is an old post but I really liked the way it looked, so I favorited it. Now I come back to it (months later) and pics won't come up...?

 

That's the problem with linking images to other webservers. The image no longer exists on Manntis' webserver.

 

 

Manntis: Where did those instructions on how to make the cupholder?

 

The instructions were for the older, clunkier style (without the facia) and I was deluged with emails on 'how do I align this' and 'where can I buy that kind of metal in my neighborhood' so I decided to save the bandwidth for rotary info and gear girls. I know, I know, shallow of me...

 

Geez. I should have printed them out when I had the chance. I guess I'll be stuck with a big hole 'till the end of time

 

In the spirit of helping fellow rotorheads I've re-written it for you, and have added it to my 'how to' section:
