I have an ETS 3 gauge pod for the same dash shape. Gary's pod looks far more subtle.
iain are you sure , the only pod you got from us was a 60mm single pod.
we've never made any pods for that dash shape..

Yes i know you told me so was waiting to see what interest there would be
before i started making enquires about getting them made up
Injection moulding is defo out as i contacted a couple of places and they were saying it would cost about 20K (COUGH,CHOKE, SPLUTTER) to get the
tooling made up .
Only other option is glass fibre ,or If any one can offer any advice or alternatives please PM me ,

Gary,
Looks even beter painted and on the dash.

And what's with all the multi colored lights on the bottom of the speedo cluster. I recall you had the kocklink there, assume it's lambda and AFR (always thought they were the same). Just being a nosy sod, as usual
