Thread: Show us your gauge pods/locations...

Thought of the mudpod?
http://www.aulro.com/afvb/showthread...51#post1609351

I have looked at the mud pods as an option, I still like the idea of being able to use the flatest part of the dash for storage when travelling ( actually I lie, the wife dumps everything there).

i have a '95 disco 300TDi and i mounted a mechanical oil pressure gauge and a voltmeter in separate pods on either side of the instrument binnacle i will try to get photos later. i am also looking at the latest cheap digital pyros on ebay etc that would most probably fit on the steering shroud in front of me

Dash pod on my '94 300tdi, gauges for pyro, boost, engine temp & cb. Not properly secured at the moment and has a tendency to bounce out on steep bumpy hill climbs, so have to be on the ball ready to catch it when it does.

That pod looks good because it still gives you a "shelf". A couple of questions; where did you get it from? If you don't mind me asking the rough purchase price? And how deep is the pod? Does it go all the way back to the windscreen?

Thanks Bigcarle, some photos would be good. One of my ideas is to fibreglass two gauge pods onto either side of the instrument binnacle the have it trim. It may be a bit boy racer though.....

Hi

I've been looking for a bash console for my car, been thinking of making my own in fiberglass but I've also been looking at these two:

Sven_040, I got mine from the retail agent for the department of the interior here in Vic. Lemur's post contains the link. Price does not appear to have changed, from memory and this is going back a few years, I paid around the $300-350. Approx dimensions W:415 mm D:260 H:100. Pretty straight forward to install, easier if your dash isn't stuffed like mine.

Wow! I really had no idea it would cost that much.... I think it is the best so far. But Because I'm cheap and haven't got anything better to do I might try and make something like that.

You wouldn't happen to have a picture of the mounting system/base of the unit by any chance?
