Roush vent gauge mount!

[mooserov]

Just found this. vent gauge mount kit for the lazy. It's for a ford, but my friend's saleen has the same vents we do, and it's 30 bucks

thats pretty cool, can u change the angel the air comes out or is it jsut str8 shot

 

[mooserov]

whoa, didn't even notice that it allows air to flow around it.

 

[clos561]

yea, im sure alot of guys will buy this. espcially the oens that already have the gauge mounted in the vent.

If this REALLY 100% works and looks OEM, I'll get one now. But I gotta see pics in a MS3. I trust you when you say we have the same vents as a Saleen, but I'm skeptical until I see proof, ya know?

 

[mckraut]

Wow, great find if it truly works.

 

[oskinosmee]

s*** i might buy one just to see if it works.

 

[clos561]

pretty cheap too.

 

[Hypnotized]

good find! It has me thinking now.

Nice find! I would paint the chrome trim ring, but otherwise, that's pretty sweet!

He means he wants to see the same setup in the MS3.

Nice find too! I would get this if I need one more gauge.

Even if it isn't a perfect fit, it would be easier and cleaner to modify this than to do it the way we have been up to now. I will be buying one of these in the next few weeks. This past weekend I planned out something similar but was going to have to wait until Summer to do the fiberglassing on the back deck. You just saved me a bunch of work.
Nice find!

nice find (thumb)

 

[RXMmazdaspeed]

wow, and i've been spending my recent breaks at work figuring out how i was going to mount a boost guage in my car. s***, i might buy this right now.

 

[RXMmazdaspeed]

can anyone verify we have the same vents?

 

[SuperStretch18]

Look very similar, but won't know for sure until someone tries. I'm with Mid_Life_Crisis, even if it's not exact, this is a much better solution than anything else that's out there...

 

[mooserov]

Ordered,
I'll be the guinea pig on this one, pics and a writeup coming. 35.99 shipped. If it doesn't work, one of my friends will use it. One has a saleen, the other a roush.

Uh, how is this better than putting the gauge in the factory vent? The trim is chrome and doesn't match anything and it probably has to be trimmed/sanded to fit anyways. A desk grommet from Office Depot fits absolutely perfectly in our stock vent and only requires minimal trimming on the inner surface to fit the gauge through. No painting, no fuss, no muss. Then you have the folks who complain about air blowing on the back of their gauge and say it must be blocked off. But this one clearly blows air on the back of the gauge and allows a little to pass by around the gauge rim and now everyone says "its okay" and a "better" option? Sure, sure ...

 

[mooserov]

the gauge sits in a cup that shields it from the air
