guages under the a/c unit

where can i find, or how do i make something that would hold 3 guages where that little bin is under the air conditioning controls. i have seen others with this but i couldnt find anything in the forums about it.

thanks for any help

i know sunpro makes somethign that might fit there. haven't tried it. but for most people its just cutting out a rectangle out of wood or plexiglass something and then putting 3 holes for the guages.

hmmm... i think i have some blueish plexiglass somewhere. i could use that, put the guages in and then light up behind it. too rice? i dunno, sounds different and new to me.

I bought a piece of acrylic from home deopt then used a drill bit (2.5" I think) that cuts circles. It was clear acrylic so I used some black vynil to cover it up. The acrylic sits between the bottom compartment and the wood trim.....although the better way would probably be to drill holes in the acrylic and screw it in where the compartment was screwed into....

Don't put any lights in there niether.....you might make the wires noticable....
