Cruzita- ScanGaugeII Mod

Custom Mount!


Stock Dash; decided to make use of the OEM cup holder cover/hole-


Recessed fuse panel 1/2" with nylon spacers in order to flip OBD-II connector to face down-


Now the ScanGauge can remain connected hidden neatly behind cover-


Ran cable behind dash; just long enough-


Modified cover to accept cable; I broke the first one so be very gentle-


Next I had a custom mounting bracket made to fit cover/hole-


16 gauge aluminum with zinc phosphate coating-


Secured with two short screws/nuts-


Feed screws up through holes made in cover and tighten-


No drilling/hacking of interior trim required-


Designed not to impede tabs for future removal-


Squared off drill hole with knife to fit cable-


Cover/Bracket installed-


Just enough clearance to still operate CD player-


"OCD" clean permanent mount which is easily reverted back to stock-


Side view-


Driver's view-
