Get ya pods out

[bananawhip 0]

Anyone got any pics of a nice gauge pod for a late interior, I really want something that looks OEM for a single 52mm gauge I'll be fitting.

 

I know the VDO centre dials are an obvious choice but other then those whats about?

 

SWG heater pod would be ideal but I'm pretty sure they never bothered making the later varient.

 

Any suggestions?

Do your own SWG style with a hacksaw/Dremel and a bit of sandpaper for fine tuning.

Now that is perfect, exactly what I'm after.

 

Did you make a round mount bit in the vent like the SWG ones' or just cut it and put the gauge in?

I just cut it and put the gauge in. I was going for maximum cheapness. :grin:

Ha, I like it though it looks good, think I'm going to give it a crack myself

I thought they only got round to making the early ones? Are they still trading? Thier website seems to be down and i don't have a number for them

I'm pretty sure they only do the early, hence the reason I chopped up my vent. Personally I'd buy a vent from a breaking thread and save yourself about 40 quid. If it looks cack you can always bite the bullet.

I bought a late one, 2nd hand - and it's installed in my car, so I'm confident they made them!

Thanks everyone for confirming it, that is definitely the look I'm going for, now just a case of making one or buying one?
