    Can you adapt one of the CravenSpeed brackets?

    Lots of options...

    In no praticular order or recomemdation. These are all availble from multiple sources most likely. it is appricatted if you support those that support M/A and buy from a Site Sponsor.

    Craven - Vent Gauge Pod for R56 MINI Cooper

    Craven Again - MINI FlexPod Brackets - CravenSpeed Online You would need a pod too.

    Outmotoring - MINI Cooper Gauge Bracket Kit Cravenspeed MINI Cooper Gauge

    I know almost all the site sponsors are also Craven dealers too, It's damn good stuff, and I don't usually endorse any product.

    Make your own like MetalMan ...

    62 mm?

    We carry a 60mm and we used to offer a 66mm, but i have not come across a 62 yet. We might still have some good ideas for you if you are interested.

    I have been looking and looking. I can't see what it comes with to assist you in mounting. I see that meat foot in some photos but i can't see how it attaches. It seems likely that you could use that foot to attach it to one of our brackets if you were interested in mounting it near the tach.

    Yeah, our vent pod would be a pretty sweet spot for it, I agree. It is machined to 52mm not 62mm though. We might be able to modify it for you, I don't know what it would take so I don;t know what it would cost, but I can figure it out if you might be interested.

    Soooo genik...

    You ask for a lot of help here and over a lot of other forums.... And you get lots of feedback at least from M/A members.....

    You know.... pluralism, polyphony, diversity..... Yeah all that stuff.....

    Are you really going to buy a $500 gauge that would be complicated to install on a MINI engine.... Get Craven to modify a stock mount for you....

    All this... When you seem to have just about everything going wrong with your MINI...

    No worries, I won't ask the same question of you over all the other forums....You know.... pluralism, polyphony, diversity..... Yeah all that stuff.....:D

    Are you really going to spend $500 on a gauge when you have so many other problems going on with your MINI....
