    Spirit gauge pods

    These gauge pods hold three 2 1/6" gauges. They take the place of the traveler, and use the same mounting holes and screws that the traveler uses. Some trimming may be required to the plastic dash bezel that goes around the gauges depending on the brand of gauge used. I can also have them powdercoated to match the black dash trim for an added cost. I will have to talk to rob and see how much he will charge to coat one. Maybe he will chime in price is $35+shipping(uncoated). PM me if you want one, and I will give you payment info.

    Re: Spirit gauge pods

    I think I'm going to need one of those!

    One thing I would suggest is to angle the "seat" of the gauge to point them toward the driver, kind of an up and toward 10 O'clock, even if it meant only two gauges would fit, I personally would prefer to more easily see them... Would that be possible, or would that create a problem?

    Either way, its a very cool piece at a very reasonable price!

    Thats a good idea Mike. It could be done, but it would drive the price up to where people wont spend that much on a gauge pod. I have one of these in my car and its not bad at all seeing the gauges while driving.
