This weekend i found some spare time and i wanted to install the turbo gauge on the car. Thing is that i dont want to have a straight gauge in the central vent. I want to have the gauge directed on the driver side. So i did like everybody else buy cutting the vent but i did this with about 15-20 degree angle.

It was not the easy part. I spent 3 hours with the dremel to get at this shitty result.As you can see there its far from perfect. But i
got the angle i wanted.





Next step was to figure out a way to hide all those imperfections/spaces between the gauge and the vent. My solution was to use
some kind of glue. I say glue but its not. Its a high $$$ putty that my father uses to assemble plane/helicopter parts. It takes about 24h before the putty gets hard like a metal.






Now we all agree that now it looks like ***. So i had to wait about 1 hour before i could take off the excess of glue out of the vent.
Trick is: water and soap. So with a lot of patience i took the excess of glue off. Took me 1h to do it.

Now it looks like that. Thiswas the last step before 24h wait/painting.



Tomorrow i will refinish the vent with a paint job.

 

looks good man i like how you have it angled in. i justdid acenter vent auto meter boost gauge

 

i like the angle that you have. im surprised more poeple dontt do that

 

Because i can take a hole cutter and make a far cleaner job

 

its a good idea cincy if you have the good diameter hole cutter, if not..

Even there i had to cut on the back of the vent to obtain this angle.

 

I did it. although mine isn't as much of an angle.

 

You steal a TT vent cover?

 

Me? no. that's a piece of pvc pipe filled with bondo and has a hole cut out of it. You know I'm wierd like that.
