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.

That would depend on the gauges. In the case of a custom order, I make them to your gauge’s specifications.
