Before you say it, I know these are "only" $30 a piece, these cost me $5 and I had some fun with it. Shout out to Adrodz for the hook up on these gauges to!

Final version of the pods: 2" PVS, 2 8" long sections. 8 set screws, a drill, and some black paint (I used some model car paint, doesn't leave the spray paint smell)

I have it where it all fits into the pod now, so I can pull it in and out as needed. All in all I'm pretty happy with the end result :thumb:

Testing the original idea, changed quite a bit!

Sealed unit, so no hot or cold blowing on the gauges although I don't know that they would be affected.

And on a side note, these gauges are like crack. Tested them in my car tonight to make sure everything work OK, played with them for at least 30 minutes!

Thanks guys! Nothing huge but it kept me busy for a little while, and looks pretty good if I say so myself.

Hey, saved me $50 so you won't hear me complaining! I'll throw some more pics up when I get the gauges in the car, didn't have time to take the dash apart before my Tigers played last night

Those look great! It always feels nice to do your own creations and have them work out they way you planned.:thumb:

Found some dry asphalt on the interstate, turned around for fun shot, she still had another 6-700 RPM left...:

I'm really happy with the way this one turned out.
