    Default where can i fing guage pods for 60mm gauges?

    its about time to mount my gauges but i have a problem, i have nothing to mount them with. i checked mopac to see if anything could be modified, and unfortunatly it can't, so i was wondering if anyone knew where i could get a decent price on pods such as these...

    you CAN modify a 52mm pod to fit a 60mm.
    I've seen it done on numerous cars.

    How do they do that? Just dremel or sand out the edges?

    yea you dremel the edge until the gauge can slide in.
    I've seen it done numerous times.

    i'll check the ones at mopac again but i swear my guage was bigger then the outer diameter of the pod. i'm talking about the individual mounting ones, not A-pillar pods.
