Mounting attitude monitor

Anyone got any ideas on mounting the attitude monitor anyplace else other than the A pillar mount. I dont want to use the pillar. I have a decent place right above the heater control using velcro but I am tired of fighting the velcro coming off the back and the monitor falling. Thanks

3M makes some double sided tap that is like concrete if you clean everything first.

If you can't find it let me know and I can probably get you plenty to mount it with. I also think you can find it in small quantities at staples or office depot.

Top of the steering column, only issue is that it blocks my Odometer.
If I need, I can flip open the panel below the steering column and easily hide the Attitude behind the panel so valet doesn't get any crazy ideas.

Actually thats kinda why I dont want to use the a pillar. Keep it out of site of eyes who usually look there first. Kinda surprise other diesel heads at stop lights when they dont see guages mounted on the pillar.

They make an overhead mount. It's just above the rear view mirror.

I had mine in the ash tray holder. I pulled the tray out and used the velcro that came with the Juice/Attitude. It actually wasn't too hard to see down there.

Hey I like this. I may try this one. Out of sight and gravity isnt working against the velcro sticky tape when it gets hot in the cab.
GREAT PICS!!

Well I was going to tryqzilla's 3M tape but it sounds like the stuff you used might be better VS. hot weather. Shoot, 3M probably makes it.

the tacky tape is made by
Schnee-Morehead, Inc.
111 n. nursery
irving texas 75060

tacky tape is actually a window sealant but it works great.
