I'm looking for some suggestions on how to display an air meter. I inherited part of my dad's collection. He had this one mounted on the wall, but it's very heavy and I'd rather have in on a stand or something. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I have built pedestal mounts for similar units for customers. I used a new farm disc blade as a base and a 3 by 2 steel tube. Weld the tube top closed with a filler then weld the tube to the disc. Drill to mount, where indicated on the meter. Paint and you are done. Paul www.severngaspumps.com.

A friend from work welded up an ![[Linked Image]](https://www.oldgas.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=225391&filename=IMG_20230219_110924.jpg) old ford banjo rear end and torque tube to make this pedastal. Something that someone would have done back in the day for not much $.

The" lines" or design of the Arno match very nicely with the look of the Eco 38 pedestal. The end product looks very natural, and what Arno might have originally created. John

Thank you guys for the replies. Those are some great options. I agree with John, that Eco 38 pedestal looks fantastic.
