Gauge brackets idea.

[HmmwvTim]

I know that it is improbable to get some gauge brackets since they are not sold separate from the gauges. Most likely these things are missing or broken Like mine. I had an idea to use mold maker from michaels and fiberglass resin i had laying around to try to replicate this. Here is what I got for my first attempt. One had bubbles but i think it will hold.

Tell me what you think.

Seems like it does the trick.

Start producing them and sell on epay. I'd probably take to 2.

Not worth the cost selling it. It takes a few days to cure and I only made 1 mold of 2 different bracket shapes. Mixing and pouring the resin is also messy. as a hobby to fit my needs, it is ok but to manufacture these, it is not optimal.

Nice job! Here's what I've used: AutoMeter 2225 AutoMeter Gauge Mounting Brackets | Summit Racing

Just need to trim to length and grind a little for clearance (depending on which gauge you use it on).

had to make some resin for some patchwork on something and found my mold. I decided to make another pair to see if it works. Seems good to me. I’ll save these for backups.

They look good. I wonder it it's something I could CAD and 3D print and put on eBay. I don't put my printer to work to pay for itself enough.
