Mounting GReddy 60mm electric gauges?

Ok, so ive got these two GReddy peak hold gauges, with a third on the way, and they dont come with any mounting brackets. The only way shown in the manual is a band type mounting stand. I really dont want to mount them that way with wires and such hanging out.

My old autometer ones came with a U shaped brackets that bolted to the back of the meter pushing it against the mounting surface.

Any suggestions?

i f you like, you can get a mounting plate off the net (or make your own if you can) that mounts the guages underneath the stereo head unit

there's actually someone who's making universal guage pod that you can place on your dash

Wrap some masking/electric tape around the gauge so when you put it into the pod, the gauge fits nice and snug and doesnt move out. After its on the pod, you can wrap some more tape so it doesnt slide out or leave it the way it is. Sounds pretty ghetto but it works and no one will see it since its hidden behind the pod.

I did the same with my Greddy gauge and I havent had any problems with it slipping out.
