Aanyone know where to get a din holder/gauge holder like the 1fastT2 one?

Willing to pay top dollar for one or similar?

Can anyone fab one up?

Like I said. Willing to pay top dollar for one.

 

never seen one... couldn't be too hard to make though.

 

Only thing I could find:

It came from this thread:

he refuses to. hes been bumping a thread about it with no luck but wont just make one

 

Is this the type you're referring to?




Yeah, I know it's only a two gauge holder, IIRC, the guy who made these did both 2 and 3 hole versions.
Whoever did it was quite the artist on a metal brake, this thing is nice.
Stainless, too.

 

I have the 3 gauge version of it, $5 find at the wrecking yard.

 

Lucky find, that.
IIRC, I paid $50 for this one and never used it.

 

^Paid the same a few years ago to a member here. Sitting in my car now.
Such a simple piece, too bad it's not easy for the rest of us to make.

 

Simple concept maybe, but absurdly difficult execution.

 

They have those on ebay all day...

 

I dont see whats so hard about getting a piece of sheetmetal and drilling three holes in it?

 

Look at it...it's a piece of stainless origami.
A "piece of sheetmetal with holes drilled in it", indeed.

 

^^ if thats one piece of sheet then mind=blown.

Theres 3 guage din holders on ebay from honk kong or somewhere for about AU$17 but apparently they dont actually fit a DIN recess as claimed.

 

Yes, it's one piece, no welding, just folds.

 

Yeah, those were NICE pieces. I've owned a couple over the years (a gauges over radio and a gauges under radio). Really well done, if I still had a stock style center stack I'd have kept one of mine.

 

Slumming, Blake?

 

Screwed in the factory location too

While DIN is a standard thing how it MOUNTS to your car is not, that is where the magic lies

 

yeah, I have a 3 hole version, I love it.

I recently went and got a sheet of aluminum to fill the DIN hole left open with another 2 gauge spots and my work is pretty crappy in comparison . But with a hammer and a vice think it turned out pretty well.

 

so this sheet metal origami is no longer available?

 

Yeah. I don't have the time or resources to make one.

Still up to buy one tho.

 

Anyone have one?

 

Wait a minute...YOU do.
As soon a PayPal clears (which I hope is today).

 

They are pretty easy to make. Mine definitely isn't a refined as the stamped and machined purchased one. But for a first attempt mine turned out pretty well and was made for virtually nothing. I used some brushed aluminum sheet that I had left over from customizing my PC. Other than some nuts, bolts screws, etc it was all labor.

The middle gauge didn't come out even. Not sure if I cut the hole wrong or if the different type gauge is what threw off my measurements. That and I skipped the drill bit along the sheet metal. If it bothers me enough I can always re-do that piece.


I used an OEM headunit bracket and made some pretty simple modifications to it.
