Efreakingt Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 I'm trying to decide on a mounting point for voltage and output meters. I have one space that's literally 2.7x2.7 that I could mount on the surface, or I could remove the vm 1 from the case and rear mount in. My question tho is what kind of mounting hardware does it have or need to surface mount to a dash bezel and other areas like the headliner?

Wehan Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 To surface mount to a dash pop off the cover and use the hols in the back plate to screw it down, if you don't want holes in your dash I would try some 3M VHB double sided tape the heavier rated the better.

Efreakingt Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Cool I was kinda figuring it had holes in the back plate but I couldn't find any pictures. My only dash spot has a traditional dial clock in it. I really don't need that clock so I can remove it and widen the hole to rear mount if I want. The outer face tho is almost identical dimension to the assembled meters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Efreakingt Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) That's exactly what I needed to see. I found a used bezel online for 30 bucks, now I can order it and hack it up. Edited May 23, 2016 by Efreakingt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
