cheap ultragauge bracket

I cut a strip of thick plastic, and use that for support. I shaped the plastic to snap in between the base of the steering column, and the top of the instrument panel. I drilled 1 hole near the top, and 1 that is 1.75" below, to fit with the top and bottom of the Ultragauge bracket, then slid a zip tie through 1 of the holes, around one side of the strip, back through the other hole, around the other side, and closed in back of the strip. The upper 3/4 of the support is about an inch wide, so almost all of the instrument panel is visible, the base is wider and it stays in place quite well. The Ultraguage snaps in, then out when I want to remove it, and the bracket stays in the car.
