voltage gauge/meter mounting help

[AudioFiLe 0]

So i just bought 2 Stinger voltage meters for my XS batteries to keep tabs on the volts and i am hoping to mount them on the side of the dash in my ford ranger. i dont have the tools or skills yet to do a whole fiberglass mold so i will be using a dremel to cut out 2 square holes to flush mount the 2 meters. the system i am getting will be hitting at least 140db so i need to figure out what adhesive (or whatever else i can use) to keep the meters stuck to the inside of the dash panel without having to use fillers. 

anybody got any advice how to keep these things in place?

why do you need two meters?

Just use the red 3m double sided sticky tape, use some rubbing alcohol to prep the surface and stick it on there. Just make sure you test the rubbing alcohol in a inconspicuous area just in case it damages your dash.

Honestly the red 3m tape is super strong if applied correctly. That's what I've used in tons of install. If it's not a flat surface I would honestly just relocate it to somewhere it is.
