Do you still have the gauge pod for sale?

Yes. Sure do.

Nice Upgrade man I always wondered how to install am guages...Maybe I'll get brave...Unfortunately my instrument cluster voltage regulator is bumming out and I cant find a new one. And what specific model does that steering wheel come on? Mine looks a lot skinnier than that

Thanks for the picture where you are showing the VAC connection as many people, including myself, have wondered where to "T" the Gauge. Super, I am gonna get one plate.

 

[vir881]

I can't find where to buy the plates...Hmmmm

 

[95-stang]

Nor me.

Sorry guys - the thread link must've died when we moved sites or something. I did a little search - here's the link:

Plates are $67.95 shipped. These are high quality, machined on a CNC mill from billet aluminum right here in Arizona, then professionally anodized. No crummy laser cut or stamped plate stuff.

They're top notch.. Very happy with the quality!

I just ordered one from Paul, looking forward to it.

Mine arrived this morning, just like to say what a well made piece it is, cant wait to fit it.

Sorry I didn't have time to take photos of the install but it was nothing spectacular, I may well swap the vac for oil pressure later, and unfortunately my o2 gauge spoils the appearance as its not Autometer, but all in all it looks good in an otherwise unused space. The quality of the part is great and went in really easily.

 

[Paul]

Nice! Thank you for posting pics!

It looks great in there.

Oh, and I love vacuum gauges. One of the most useful gauges ever.

 

[white95]

XD

Can he make them for where your aftermarket head unit goes? I don't have any stereo in my car and am planning on doing gauges soon anyways but would love it to be there.

 

[ttocs]

It is exactly the same size as the other hole.

Stumbled across something even more useless than a vacuum gauge:

Brake pressure gauges are good in racecars if you're in a class that doesn't allow a trans brake. Also good in road racecars (two of them) to help dial brake bias fore/aft.

[white95]

oh hush mr know it all

 

[Paul]

Aw c'mon now!! I had two brake pressure gauges in my old SCCA racecar!! In fact, stockcarproducts sells them in a package ready to go for just such a purpose.


Oh, and I still love vacuum gauges.
