dc2 dash mounted triple gauge pod?

Hi Guys

A while ago i was looking on the net and saw a dash mounted triple gauge pod for a dc2 type r (sat in front of the clock ish).
Ive had anotha look on the net but cant seem to fin it anywhere. It was specific for a dc2 integra as it has a slop on one side that moulded to the dash.

Was for 52mm gauges i think.

Im not really keen on putting gauges on the A pillar and dont want one of the cluster mount things as they cover the fuel gauge.

Any other placement options for guages in a dc2 would be appreciated. And in a place where i can easily glance at them while driving.

Cheers
Brent

Re: dc2 dash mounted triple gauge pod?

Yeah EK specific, like that one you have pictured it molds around the different parts of the dash. I have pics of it if you want to see it.

I got it off wong, who knows where he got it. Ive never seen anything like it for sale anywhere here or in the US so I guess its from japan.

They were on my car when I imported it, no idea if it's Defi branded or not.

Re: dc2 dash mounted triple gauge pod?

rather than forking out shitloads for a job like this, why not find a generic one of some sort, make a mould and fiberglass one? i know people who have done that kind of thing before

You could also get one of the generic ones which are meant to fit on the dash you can get on Trademe and just melt parts of it so it's soft enough to mould to the dash slightly I guess =)
