Here's something I found,,, if you can trim the ring down to 2 5/8" it might work http://www.autometer.com/cat_mountsd...=49&mid=8&pg=0

there are also chrome and black ones.

The pods all seem to be for 2 1/16" gauges which probably would'nt work given the size of the clinometer.

Here's another option which might be adaptable to the larger cutout needed http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/Unive...-Dash-Pod.aspx

On a related note, why do compasses always point north to the dash?

I kinda like the Mitsu one. I bet you could pop out the other two gauges and put in other ones if you want. Maybe a water/tranny temp gauge, or a small aftermarket tach( for all you non SR5 guys/gals). Cool idea. I can never find the Toyota clinometers at Pick N Pull, and everyone that sells them wants $120 for them.

Thanks for the idea.

What's the gauge on the left?

Oil gauge is on the left. I have a couple extra horizon gauges minus everything else if you want one? No charge.

or for those with iPhones/itouches....

you can get a few clinometer apps out there.

a couple are a buck each.



from

http://itunes.apple.com/app/inclinom...309482204?mt=8

another one i got is called LandMeter where you can either set it for landscape or portrait and each gauge can be zeroed out individually.

one that cost 2 bucks:

http://www.offroadmeter.com/



kinda dont like this one due to the fact that the roll image is from the front of the vehicle, instead from the rear. when you roll to the left, the image on the screen, rolls to the right.

but i wrote the author some comments to see if they could redo it...
