Title: Mounting real gauges in the panels
Post by: archen on October 31, 2014, 08:13:18 AM
Hey guys,
I've been working on a holder for my real gauges. I found it hard to make a clean and solid install of the real gauges in the OVHD.

I came up with a quite simple design which turned out great. Easy to install without any modification and the gauge is solid and won't go anywhere.

I'm just missing a hose clamp which I will be getting next week.

Any feedback or suggestions?

Not much feedback in this thread. I guess not that many ppl are interested in such product. Well, anyway I've made them for my FDS ovhd so why not offer them if someone would want.

Product is added to my website.

Thanks Anders, maybe not many people are using real gauges. :)

I guess so Trevor :-)
Initially they were made for my own sim like my other products so I just add this one too if anyone want.

I only have one real gauge as we speak but looking at more. I love how real gauges look and moves.

Oh for sure.  Don;t we all.  I am trying to interface some real gauges right now, and one is giving me a headache.  I don't know how long I can go before I throw in the towel on it though.
