FricFrac Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I thought I saw the three gauge mounts for the driver side window pillar on MSA but I can't for the life of me find them. I also searched the site but didn't come up with anything - are they still available? Link? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemicalblue Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I modded miata gauge pods to fit the s130, they were pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmy280zxt Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I went to autozone and bought the 3 pod pillar set. I used a very good hair dryer to soften up the plastic and molded to the plastic pillar cover. Then use a set of shears to trim off the excess. It took about 3 hrs to get it done right, Then I realized I only needed one pod...duh. But it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Search is your friend, I have done some extensive research and written several tech posts (of which one is a Sticky) with many pictures about making a true fit 3 gauge pod for a ZX, for example: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=113339&highlight=pod Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmy280zxt Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I agree with Yasin on his build. It looks very professional. Minw was a quick fix and it actually came out pretty good. I tried to post a pic of it mounted but getting pics to post on here have been a no go for me for some reason. Yasin, you ever think of making a few more of those for a profit??? I would luv one and would pay you nicely for it. Com on..you know you want to!!!LOL:rolleyesg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Com on..you know you want to!!!LOL:rolleyesg Well...I have had over 10 people ask me to build this for their 280ZXs, and in fact I have built 2 to date. Maybe this summer when I have time, I am in a new job and settling into my new surroundings in Houston...so we'll see. Thing is it takes about 20hours (minimum) to make one and make it *really* perfect, lots of fiberglassing and sanding and more fiberglassing and more sanding..so it is labor intensive too...just curious what would you pay for one? I guess I made the mistake of searching the the S130 forum since I figured the pod would be specific to the S130.... sigh... thanks for the link though.... If you notice my friend, my post is from 2006, long before there was even an S130 or 280ZX Model Specific forum. The site has changed and evolved, so doing a global search on the site is always recommended! Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its either 4 useless hits or 38 pages containing the keyword - I usually give up after the 20th page and just ask. I am getting better at it though. Never knew about there not being an S130 forum in 2006..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
