OK- heres mine:
Its pants.
I have to fit an oil pressure gauge (and possible an oil temp gauge) so i need some inspiration as to what to do.
I can buy those pods on ebay but i cant figure out the best place for it - or which direction...
Anyone got any photos of theres?
Much appreciated
Ringo

Mine
Should have mounted the volt meter slightly higher but its still perfectly readable and they are nicely in your line of sight when you look at your existing gauges.
You could even use the autogauge style pods they have in halwits to do the job tidier if polished ally and exposed wires are not your thing

Bolted through a strib of ally underneath as a load spreader to stop the surround cracking- the VDO gauges are a bit wieghty
Works well though

How are they attached then Tony? Screwed into the dash?
A matching set seems to be the theme here!

Just what I'm looking for! Typeface is nearasdammit the same as the VW gauges. Are they still available? White characters on black would look OEM in a decent pod.Pepperami wrote:Here's mine.
Are they branded or mystery make?
