Title: Dimensions of the under CC cubby hole??? Post by: redludesh on March 20, 2012, 10:55:27 AM Has anyone on here made a custom gauge/light/switch etc. holder for inside the doored cubby hole?? If so do you happen to have the dimensions and or any advice on doing this?
I bought a 24x24 peice of ABS plastic and my hopes are simply to cut a flat peice of it, in the correct size and affix it somehow to the inside middle of the cubby hole just after the rest for the door inside. Then put holes in it for the Boost Gauge, AEM Eugo, turbo timer, Hondata trouble light and mp3 connector switch. It looks like all this will fit, im just lost on the size of the hole hehe and how to affix the flat plastic to the inside. Any help would be greatly appreciated :-) This cubby hole http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v432/illushunz/project.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v432/illushunz/project.jpg) Title: Re: Re: Dimensions of the under CC cubby hole???

Title: Re: Dimensions of the under CC cubby hole??? Post by: quickkick127 on March 20, 2012, 04:43:00 PM I would just take it out and measure it yourself. It is really easy to get out. There's probably a how to on here for getting the cubby out. Pop it out, fit your plastic piece at the depth you want it and then with it out you can find a way to mount the face plate. You can always do something as simple as bolting some butt blocks in so the face plate has something to rest against and hold it in place and then silicone the face plate to the butt blocks when you have all your gauges mounted. You obviously already planned on cutting holes in the cubby to run your wiring so I wouldn't think you'd have anything against drilling holes to mount those blocks. This is just some quick solution, I'm sure there are other, more professional ways of doing it. Hope it at least gets you thinking.

Tim..Okay cool. I'm trying to do as much as possible before the 31st-1st weekend so as not to overwhelm you lol. Got the boost gauge in at least :-) Title: Re: Dimensions of the under CC cubby hole??? Post by: timot_one on March 20, 2012, 06:54:40 PM There's actually a dash kit that replaces the cubby door. If I'm assuming correctly, you don't want the gauges to be visible when not in use. Re-using the cubby is probably the best option. Don't worry about the fabrication though. I'll get ya taken care of. It just may take some time.
