Z_Karma Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I have one from gaugepods.com for my z31. Its a very pliable ABS type plastic that would lend itself very well for this kind of fiberglass solution. It's meant as a replacement for the pillar trim piece, but i found it also fits over it. Molding with a heatgun made it fit really nice. Unfortunately a few days in the summer heat un-molded what i had done and it resumed its previously warped sides. Here are some pics with my old autometer gauges installed: Thanks for the post. I'd been considering doing something with fiberglass before and its nice to see your solution.

Ferrariferg Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Has anyone tried the RX7 FC pods yet? I found single pods for about $10 apiece. If not maybe I will order them and try them out. If they don't work I can always sell them to my friend who has 2 FC's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrariferg Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I think I'll order them this weekend if I have money left after the bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComicArtist Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Just wanted to bring this up. I've been trying to do the whole fiberglassing thing with a gauge pod on my S30, and its looking to be pretty impossible to mold a double or triple gauge pod into the trim of a 70-78 and make it look right. The pods are just too big for the trim. I'm ending up having to overlap the trim like the pictures posted earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppet Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 that's an amazing gauge cluster. Great work, can't wait to make one up for me self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motomanmike Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I'm in the same boat, I bought 2 el cheapos and ground them down, test fit. Heated them with a heat gun and tried to reform them a little bit with no avail, close, but still looked out of place. I'll try a few others. I like the set ups posted. For an S30 there really isn't much room on the pillar. I'll let you guys know if I come up with anything that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
