After looking at Ebay more I found one that looks like this and it is out of a tercel. I think if I can find the mount plate and posibly a cover it will work. F-ing Ebay buyer beware!!

I took one look and knew it was from a Tercel. Watch stuff, take your time, don't rush on ebay.
You know what else?

You cheated yourself out of the elevation guage that comes with the 4runner model.

When I said work I ment mount. If I can find the metal mount and maybe a 4runner cover will this guage still fit?

The mount will make it fit right and to boot you'll find that the plug for lighting is there too.

Mine didnt come with a mount either, but its super easy to make one... I took a piece of one inch wide, 14ga and bent it so that it ran under the gauge and bent like a "C" to catch the screw on each side of the cover. See the sketch...

Thanks for the drawing chim. I think I will make one and then trim the cover to fit the dashpad.
