Press fit gauge mount to metal plate mount question.

[JD Dave]

I have these pillar mount press fit gauges from Isspro. http://www.alligatorperformance.com...black-numerals-green-when-backlit-p-4576.html I have a gauge plate from some Autometer gauges I had before that I want to put on the lower dash. Is there a kit or something you can buy to mount the gauges the slip fit doesn't work very well in a metal holder. I could silicone them in but I's rather not.

Dave on the back side of your gauges do you have 2 studs coming out? If so you should be able to order a mounting kit like autometer sells with there gauges that holds them in tight from the back side.

There is 2 plastic studs but they don't look like they are threaded and I can't seem to find anything online. I did buy them from Chad, I guess I'll just ask him. Thanks.

For my ISSPRO gauges to fit like I wanted them, I wrapped electrical tape around it to snug it up in the hole (trim around the lock tabs), then took an o-ring and put it behind the face and under the tabs. The tape made the gauge not move around, and the o-ring made the tabs hold. I can get you a picture if needed.

Thanks for the idea, I think I'll try that. I did find a mounting kit from Isspro R19999 but I can't find anyone who sells them.

Just remembered. The o-ring is actually between the gauge bezel and the mount on the outside. What I ended up doing, was to assemble everything listed, then push it into the hole. The o-ring helps to keep the gauges from rotating. I found that my gauges would turn slightly over time until I installed the o-ring.

For the mounting kit, talk to Chad, if he sold you the gauges, he can get the kit.

I tried putting 2 rounds of electrical tape around the gauge and they fit very snug now. I don't think I will even bother buying the mounting hardware. Thanks for the tip.
