Centre Pod Gauges

[teK--]

Trial fit required with gauges since gauge bezel likely to hit door or not fit bottom edge. Its a very fine window of space within which the gauges fit and door closes. Also may need to remove cubbyhole bottom which then presents the spring retention issue.

Have a mates defi gauges to test in the slots first before I buy to make sure everything works! Thanks for the info though. How come I'd need to remove the cubbyhole bottom though? That would present an issue!

It's a catch 22.

if the front of the pod is angled back enough so the bezel can clear the door, then the back of the gauges can interfere with the bottom of the cubby. If you angle the pod forward more, then the bezel catches the door.

Mine took so much adjusting even with the bottom of the cubby removed, to get it to sit correctly and not have the door rub on the bezel.

Mmm...I should post up some pics of my gauges as I have two 60mm gauges fitting snuggly in there and the door opens and closes too

Yeh Boost and oil pressure are the two I have, work well Plus they are the two that move the most lol

If you wanted something that moved consistently you should have gotten the turbo speed dial……..

You forgot to mention they are slanted towards the driver too.

Haha what's the point of getting gauges if they don't move lots tony!

And yes that too, although it's only slightly

Research pays dividends. Measure twice, cut once.

I wouldnt have proceeded with this if I needed to cut any part of the cubbyhole bar a cable entry hole.

Panel in matt black, cover opens and closes fully as normal with no fouling on any part of the panel or gauges. No part of the cubby hole cut or modified to fit panel/gauges.

I only really wanted a boost gauge (I wasnt going to put gauges in this car at all) the volts one is just there to fill a hole with minimal wiring. The white part of the gauges are LED backlit with the digital display red so should match the interior nicely. Will wire up this week.

Looks good mate!

I'm waiting for mine to arrive in the post still, what size gauges did you end up going for?

[cruisn]

Theyre 52mm gauges, thats what the panels made for. You wont get anything larger in there without cutting the cubbyhole.

Nice work Mark yours are tilted up more than mine or is that the photos angle?

Id say more the photo as I had to take it on an upwards angle to try to get a good shot as theyre shaded by the cover. Full gauge face is visible from drivers view.
