ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an improved automotive accessory gauge housing containing at least one automotive gauge, e.g., ammeter, voltmeter, pressure gauge, tachometer, etc., as desired, in which viewability of the gauges is increased by providing a spherical gauge body which freely revolves within a circular opening in the housing, the opening extending through to the interior of the housing. The gauge body is releasably retained by a plurality of supporting brackets, the supporting brackets being around the periphery of the opening in the interior of the housing. The improved housing can be mounted via brackets or the like above or below the vehicle dashboard in the cab area, or as desired.
