Mazda Miata / MX-5 Knee mounted 52mm Gauge Pod
Description
This is a gauge pod made to snugly clip a 52mm gauge, such as an AFR gauge, in to the knee-height hole under the steering wheel of a first generation Miata. I've had five revisions of this model. The first few had poor viewing angles, poor positioning, or poor mounting, which was the biggest challenge. I copied Mazda's mounting tab layout and added some strength to the mounting tabs for this latest revision. At 5'9" or 175cm tall, I find that I have ample legroom in this area, and the gauge pod does not bother me while driving. I can easily read a bright digital display to check its value, but a needle gauge may be hard to read from the driving position. The STL I've uploaded is for a left hand drive car; feel free to flip it if you drive on the right, or make any other modifications necessary. Make sure to print face-down using a heat-resistant material; PLA is unlikely to last very long if you get even a mild amount of sunlight at any time of the year.
