Isn't that a Banks unit? I got a two pod years ago from Geno's. Now I'd like a 3-pod but can't find one anywhere. I have a 4-pod top but no base. Sure wish somebody would make these again...

What's his address? And does he keep his truck locked?

Seriously, some mighty fine machine work there. I'm envious.

The gauges have RW products printed on the faces. I bought them from a guy new still in the box after he totaled his truck so I don't know where the originally came from. Wish I did though.

Those mounts were made using only a drill press ,a plasma cutter and Dewalt 4" angle grinder. Oh and a healthy vice

They are only1 1/2" X3" so it would take 2 per side. that does give me an idea though.

Thanks It was such a nice day that I wanted to do something fun.
I did get kinda tired of running the drill press with the hole saws though.

That looked like it was laser cut, you did a good job keeping everything symmetric.

I like that you're making your own parts! I prefer to make my own parts when I can as well. Been making some custom one off parts for Harleys for the past year. Right now I'm working on making a couple items for our trucks and I'll share what I come up with when I'm done.

Thanks I have an old version of Autocad that helps a lot. And I spent 20 years as a machinist. But sadly the shop I had access to up until last fall is now gone. auctioned off after a battle between the owners widow and his son. So I use a plasma cutter and hole saws

I like to make everything I can. It sounds like you know how that is. I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

I like to make stuff as well...I wish I had more room so I could get me a plasma cutter...drill press...small milling machine...etc. But I do what I can with my limited space and tools.
