Gauge pod pics!!!

I am looking for some ideas for gauge pods. I would like to see some actuall pics of intalled pods with the gauges. Especially the New Gauge pod that adds two gauges to the MPH and Tach Section.
Thanks.

If you're referring to the AutoMeter gauge bezel, no one (not even AutoMeter) knows when it is going to be available. If you're looking for a center pod, here is my setup:

I was looking to get some gauges and a pod, and I like your setup. Please let me know where you got your gauges/center pod and prices.

Thanks,

RHK,

Looks nice. I've been thinking of doing the same thing. I especially like the idea of preserving the clock. Your pic is a little dark so I can't see what you did for the bezel. Did you make your own? Any mounting difficulties?

Thanks. I just would like EGT, Boost and a temp, I guess I will wait for the other ones to come out, but this is definitely what I want.

I want the AutoMeter gauge bezel, I have the A-pillar one, but I really like the looks of the Bezel style one.

Hi rhk118
e-mail me I would be interested in buying one of the face plates and the extra gauges for the factor gauge housing.

I like that you keep the clock in place.
What kind of gauges would I have to buy to go into your bezel

Unfortunately Omori North America is no longer shipping gauges into the country and they're pretty tough to come by. Not sure if the problem will be resolved anytime soon or ever. I don't know of any other company that makes round 45mm or similar-sized gauges. Some of Dakota Digital's rectangular gauges should fit the stock pod without modification (but you still have to make your own faceplate).

Honestly after having just gone through the process of finding the gauges and getting the faceplate made it would have been much easier to buy a pre-made set up like jbhebert's above - 52 mm gauges are a standard size and there are multiple companies to choose from. Pluse there are a few nice looking analog 52 mm clocks (VDO makes one I think) that look nice if you decide you have to have a clock up there...plus that set up uses a stock-sized pod which has the best looking profile IMO. Looks pretty good!

If anyone else knows where else to get 45 mm gauges please post! I have extra faceplates like the one above but didn't have them made with the intention of selling them...I'll give them away but good luck finding 45 mm gauges!
