AUTO METER 2204 Mounting Cup for 2-1/16" Gauges — Black pedestal, vibration-damping three-layer protection

Auto Meter 2204 Mounting Cup securely holds any 2-1/16" Auto Meter or Auto Gage instrument in a low-profile black pedestal that installs and removes in seconds.

The 2204 is a compact, pedestal-style mounting cup designed specifically for 2-1/16" Auto Meter and Auto Gage gauges. Finished in black for a clean, unobtrusive look, the cup lets you position a single gauge on the dash, below the dash, or even on the hood cowl for a pro-street appearance. Its three-layer construction balances protection and aesthetics while remaining easy to move and fast to attach or release.

How does the mounting cup protect my vehicle’s interior?

The 2204 uses an innovative three-layer structure that cushions the gauge and shields the mounting surface from scratches and wear. That layered design also reduces vibration transfer, preserving both the instrument's accuracy and the finish where it's installed.

• Three-layer construction guards against impact and abrasion
• Reduces vibration where the gauge meets the dash or cowl
• Black finish resists visible scuffs and matches most interiors

Where can I install this mounting cup on my vehicle?

Flexible mounting options let you place the 2204 on the dash top, underside of the dash, or externally on the hood cowl for a custom look. The pedestal style keeps the gauge clear and readable without cutting factory panels when used with compatible hardware.

• Dashboard top for quick visibility
• Below-dash mounting for a stealthy setup
• Hood cowl installation for pro-street styling and improved sightlines

Is installation difficult and will it damage surfaces?

Installation is fast and non-destructive; the cup is designed to attach and release in seconds and to be easily moved without harming most surfaces. For most mounts, only basic tools and the proper fasteners are needed, and the protective layers minimize surface contact wear.

• Attaches and releases quickly for repositioning
• Safe for most dash materials when installed correctly
• Works with standard gauge hardware for straightforward mounting

Which gauges are compatible with the Auto Meter 2204?

The 2204 is made exclusively for 2-1/16" Auto Meter and Auto Gage instruments, ensuring a snug, secure fit. It is not intended for larger or smaller gauges, so verify your gauge diameter before purchase.

• Compatible with all 2-1/16" Auto Meter gauges
• Designed for Auto Gage 2-1/16" instruments as well
• Not suitable for gauges with different diameters

Who is this for? The Auto Meter 2204 Mounting Cup is ideal for car enthusiasts, racers, and custom builders who need a compact, protective mount for a single 2-1/16" gauge. Choose it if you want a quick-install, movable pedestal with a clean black finish for dash, under-dash, or cowl-mounted applications. It’s particularly useful when you want to add a single aftermarket instrument without permanent modification to your vehicle’s panels.
