Alright guys, I bought the usdm optional audio console about a week ago. I picked up a small sheet of carbon fiber from my friend to mount in the double din area, so I can mount my gauges in there.
My question is, how do you mount a panel in the double din area securely? So gauges and what not can be mounted properly.
Any comments, pictures, whatever would be much appreciated. I have seen this done in many consoles, and always wondered how it was done the right way.
Thanks
Justin

 

Bump for ideas w/ pics

 

I dont know **** about flowers...
Bump for some answers

 

Black rivets looks badass if you can find something to punch into. If you might be changing **** back there with frequency you might want to consider - and no, I'm not joking - velcro strips. Caulk or liquid nails is alright too.

 

This piece uses blind rivets, with a strip of metal on the top and bottom, behind the panel, that have holes drilled into them, and they've been tapped to accept the bolts you see in the picture. The strips and the panel are basically sandwiched together tightly. The strips are also secured to the plastic in the rear with regular plastic panel screws that you'd find in a Honda interior.

 

 

thanks guys for the awesome responses.

Yeah, his neighbor made that for him and stamped it magnetically. It's a snug fit, very sturdy.

 

up for JJJJJJJJ

 

When I had mine set up like your asking all I did was use 2 sheets of ABS plastic. I cut them to fit then sandwhiched them together in the track. It was secure and easy to work with when I wanted to chane stuff. Larry

 

use Clear silcone on the back side cut the CF to fit the back around the lip that way it looks flush from the front.

 

I'd tell you but I have no idea haha bump for some answers, so I dont have to come out to b ham and figure it out just so Justin stops sending me this link

 

post a pic of the back of the console that you are wanting to attach the carbon fiber too... that will help with more ideas of how to attach something in some way or another...
