Looking to create an Audi style dash gauge pod. Has anyone tried this? Did a Google search with no luck. Not a fan of pillar mounted gauges. Probably going with Battery / Oil Temp / maybe a clock...or Cylinder Head Temp. VDO gauges, of course. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

There is a gauge plate that covers the stock radio location on the market that holds 3 two inch gauges. I have oil temp, head temp, and oil pressure there.
Clock and volt meter are on the A pillar in the pods. I don’t run the center console as my feet get stuck on it. I like the extra space without it. Zach |

Zach I want to rid myself of the center console too. Where can I find this gauge plate that covers the radio location? |

I want to rid myself of the center console too. Where can I find this gauge plate that covers the radio location? I got mine a few years back from RennMetal ( I think). But its just a flat sheet of steel with three 2 1/16th inch holes in it. You could make one yourself in just a few minutes with a 2 inch hole saw and some 18 or 16 ga stock steel from your local hardware store. Super simple design. Zach |
