Ram Mount Cupholder and Gadget mount

[Questions]

So I disconnected my Temp and Gas gages a month ago and like the digital display much better. So I wanted make use of the dead space created by this change. So a few Ram mount items ordered from Amazon and here is the result.


Very happy with this mod and was easy to do, took me about 30 minutes

Zoltari, may I ask, what you used to blank off the holes left by removing the gages and are they rugged enough to take the weight of a large water bottle over the bumps?

BuddyBear,

That was a hurdle I was very worried about overcoming, I knew there was not enough room to put a round mount base in that hole, so I opted to go with a smaller base mount and chose to fill in the hole with something black Anyway, I used this mount http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002KO5XVU and mounted just above the hole where the gage was. I used black foam from a cold drink huggie to fill in the hole. With the panel removed, I cut a round piece of the foam material out and used some adhesive to hold it on the back side of the panel until I could put the panel back in place. Just bolting it down snugged everything up. Really came much better than I had hoped.

Hope this helps!

Zoltari- Creative!

As a reference... those holes can also be filled with a sliding door 'pull' that is round. Ones I got at Lowes are exactly the right size!
