I recently acquired a really cool old Niehoff temperature gauge that will be going in Dad's Coupe. I'd like to get one of those chrome gauge holders that bolts under the speedometer but the only ones I can find are the dual gauge models. Does anyone know where to get the single unit? I'm not really a fan of the band type, it makes it look like the gauge is just hanging there in space.

A good thing to look for at the swapmeet of your choice. Many people don't know what they are for and you might get an old one cheap. That is how I got mine.

If you don't HAVE to have a pretty one like in the picture you can make a real nice one out of a coil bracket.

I have also made them out of the Stainless Steel Airplane radiator hose clamps. You will need to use a grinder to round and shape the ends.

I think with a little time you probably could make that & then have it chrome plated. It would be even easier if you could make a cardboard template from someone elses

I have that exact gauge holder, and sent you a PM.
