Without looking thru the whole thread, has someone done a plx gauge in one of these?

Took a picture of the inside with my camera today. Both pillars done by Mr GaleForce!

Looking good Tony! Thanks for sharing!

I really enjoy seeing custom, handmade items with such attention to detail. As another person that appreciates the OCD that kicks in when a project like this is started, great job!

Gauges installed! Thanks GaleForce!!!

I was getting ready to head to Z1 for a EcuTek tune when my fuel pump started acting up. Dang good thing I had the AFR gauge because it was reading 18 AFR which is BAD, real bad. Fuel pressure had dropped to 40 psi. By the time I limped the car home the fuel pressure had dropped to less than 20. Time to pull the pump and see what is going on.

First, I hope you get your fuel pressure issue figured out.

Second, thanks for sharing the pics! Looking great!

Got to think about that centre sunglass holder replacement

Though I have a question about the single pillar pods. To utilize those factory looking trim rings is it limited to 52mm or is 60mm an option and still retain that OEM type look?

Want to run a wideband AFR/Boost controller combo and would prefer the extra real estate.

The way my pillar mould works is that it perfectly cups a 52mm gauge. Extensive modifications would need to be made for a 60mm gauge to fit in that same spot, also I would need to verify if the OEM gauge trim is big enough to fully cover the 60mm gauge.

I could always fabricate a one-off gauge trim for the 60mm gauge if it comes down to it.

Here is a custom trim ring that I fabricated to mimic the OEM gauge trim.

Appreciated that Jason, but it's not worth it just to satisfy a minor want vs need.
Would you PM me a price on what the single 52mm pods are going for nowadays when you have a moment. Thanks

You need to tell him what type of pillar you want and where it's shipped to
