I like that, Bart, and I saw your picture when I used the "Search" function." I'd like to see the ashtray mount to decide.
I ordered the mirror mount in a package deal with the ScanGauge, but I'm sure I could move it on eBay.
I kinda' like the idea of the mirror mount for visibility, but I really got the gauge to monitor the happiness of the 3.5L, and I ordered another cable for use on the Saab and Land Rover. So, ease of removability of the gause propper is at issue, too.

Call me crazy or ignorant if you will, but I don't think that "happiness" is one of the monitored parameters...![]()
Happiness is in the eyes of the beholder.
For a 3.5L lump, happiness is Throttle Position, Engine Load, Ignition Timin, etc. within parameters. :gring:
Yeah, no fun... But I'm sure in the future the gas will be more important to them.
Here's my mount.
When I finally get around to doing stereo in the car then I'll fill in the small ~1/8" gap at the top of it. And small gap at the bottom, not visible from Driver's or Passenger perspective... in fact you'd have to be sitting on the floor or doing a handstand to see![]()
Cool, Etlsport,
I do like it there. Since the ashtray should be accesible from any Rodeo (hopefully same front color?), I was thinking of lopping a section out of the ashtrap to recess the finished, normally-angled-front of the ashtray, so the ScanGauge would set flush straight up and down with the surrounding plastic, or even angled slightly up, then any visible gap(s) would show the finished front of the ashtray behind. Does any of that make sense?
I would not do it if I find out that VX ashtrays were a different colored front piece than any other Rodeo. I just bought a full Rodeo upper front dash surround off eBay, complete with all switches, to include R/Door Opener and fuzzy cubby switch panel replacement.
All need now is a lower CD-area dash section and I'll probably be off to my painter to have them painted Foxfire. Eventually door panels to match.
