Cool!

Something I noticed, the cubby mount is upside down. The curve is nearest the radio.

Without looking thru the whole thread, has someone done a plx gauge in one of these?

I really enjoy seeing custom, handmade items with such attention to detail. As another person that appreciates the OCD that kicks in when a project like this is started, great job!

Gauges installed! Thanks GaleForce!!!

I was getting ready to head to Z1 for a EcuTek tune when my fuel pump started acting up. Dang good thing I had the AFR gauge because it was reading 18 AFR which is BAD, real bad. Fuel pressure had dropped to 40 psi. By the time I limped the car home the fuel pressure had dropped to less than 20. Time to pull the pump and see what is going on.

First, I hope you get your fuel pressure issue figured out.

Second, thanks for sharing the pics! Looking great!

Got to think about that centre sunglass holder replacement

Though I have a question about the single pillar pods. To utilize those factory looking trim rings is it limited to 52mm or is 60mm an option and still retain that OEM type look?

Want to run a wideband AFR/Boost controller combo and would prefer the extra real estate.

The way my pillar mould works is that it perfectly cups a 52mm gauge. Extensive modifications would need to be made for a 60mm gauge to fit in that same spot, also I would need to verify if the OEM gauge trim is big enough to fully cover the 60mm gauge.

I could always fabricate a one-off gauge trim for the 60mm gauge if it comes down to it.

Appreciated that Jason, but it's not worth it just to satisfy a minor want vs need.
Would you PM me a price on what the single 52mm pods are going for nowadays when you have a moment. Thanks

Did you ever get around to doing a 60mm gauge pod? i just got a 60mm Defi and i have your 52mm pod which i can dremel out to fit a 60mm but then its not going to be recessed.

I have one for a 62mm (which is my Greddy Multi-gauge). Sure Gale could make it work but you might have to send him the gauge to make sure it’s right.

I have made pillars for 60mm gauges. The 60mm gauge ends up being surface mount, and the OEM gauge trim is not used.
