Inclinometer is in

I flip flopped on how to mount it on the dash but there was no easy way without a bracket on the bottom (no easy way that is). I mounted it to the front of my floor console angled up at close to 15 degrees. Let me know what you guys think.

He'll be looking down to check his pants when he's at 30 degrees, so looking down at it is OK...

Looks great Victor. What color was it when you got it?

Nope that wasn't it. I'll have to recheck al the wiring that goes to that relay and also the switch again although they all checked good the first time.

I mounted mine to the plastic cover behind it. It had a shelf built in it but when you remove that plastic from behind you can see it uses 3 self tapping screws to hold the shelf on. I used those to hold the back cover of the inclinometer. I was able to measure it very carefully so that the 3 screws lined up and the bottom of the inclinometer is being supported by the shifter console.

Mine didn't come with the metal base so I think it is lighter and is supported well. It may not work so good with that metal base. I was going to use a piece of angle iron screwed into the bottom of the inclinometer and then screwed to the shifter console but this worked out better I think. I can remove the front of the inclinometer with 2 screws, I have quick electrical disconnects for the wiring. Because of this I was able to follow Roger Brown's directions to get the full movement of the gauges.

The 30 really isn't that steep.
