What other gauge would you put in there, I really only want boost but if I'm to get a Cubbypod then I'd get a second one too.

What other hardware do I need to fit the oil pressure gauge?

On legacygt.com there have been many good reviews about www.prosportgauges.com
.. and I know they sell a gauge blank that matches their gauges. Its a place holder until you get a second gauge. Its under accessories for just under $8.00. That, or some people just get a voltmeter to fill the space because it is so easy to install. ProSport is gorwing so they are always offering neat stuff to help with gauge needs.

The cubbypod does not provide the hardware to mount the gauge, but most brackets that come with gauges will work with the cubbypod.

my cubby pod should arrive next week with luck, I have Defi Racer Boost Guage and I am thinking I will just blank the other opening up.

What are you using for the blank? I'm keen.

FYI everyone if you have NAV this will not work. Please see installation instructions on my website for clarity.... www.casopolis.com/install

Also, here is a link to a gauge blank

I just got a good review from one of the trial cars.

A few notes:
The gauge fit somewhat loose in the mounting hole, so the person used double sided foam tape which helped "pinch" the gauge in the hole. I made the mounting hole the size of the largest 52mm gauge I came across...

When pushing the dash back in, push both sides evenly in together and the entire thing will snap in.

Defi gauges that have a snap-on bezel ring with a red arrow: you will not be able to use the snap-on ring. There is not enough room in the cubby. The customer said the gauges still look really good.

Hopefully the customer will post pictures

Cubby Pod arrived today from Casopolis Design. Packaged, boxed and labeled very well. 52 mm Defi Racer boost gauge fits snug. Install to happen this weekend.

test fit the cubby pod today, went in well but I did have to shave a bit of material off the back edges of the pod where there was too much friction in fit. Not powered yet as I just wanted to tell fit the cubby pod first. Really needs to made of abs plastic to get rigidity and hold gauges properly but good mold none the less.
