I should have take more pix but this will give you an idea what im up to. I got a few gauges. I only want the boost gauge out to the nekid eye. The others are going to be squireled away in the glove box.
The boost gauge I got is 60mm
I used a piece of PVC pipe with an ID to meed the OD of the gauge.

Then a drain grate that had a lip on it that would allow me to recess the gauge flush.![](https://lh3.google.com/fiveota/RpwuX8rn92I/AAAAAAAAAjM/K7yUeKuAybw/IMG_0615.jpg?imgmax=640)

Next I stripped the pillar trim of its cloth covering. I cut mine in two pieces so I wouldnt have to take the seat belt on and off ever time I remove the pod.
Then I used superglue and accelerator with cardboard and plastic to set where I wanted the gauge.

I skipped a whole proceedure but I did have my cell camera so heres the raw fiberglassed grill cloth with rib cage before the duraglass went on.
