Dash Pods

[series70boy]

hi guys (and gals of course)

really want to fit a rev counter on my car but having an ep70 means having an aftermarket job plonked on my dash looking daft. they dont seem to do pillar pods for my car (but i hate them anyway) and they dont do a suround kit or pod to go on my dash, is anyone aware of a pod for my car? and not meaning to sound picky, i dont want some ill fitting universal fitting thing!!!!!

thats the problem with these old ones, parts are a pain in the arse!!!!

this is the sort of thing that i was thinking of (in red) very sorry about the 5 minute bodge up on paint

i know that for comapnies that make this sort of thing this would be so cheap and easy, even if it was a one clock pod and they clip together when another clock is added.

thanks guys

What about in the air vent, or were the tick tock clock is on the dial's

[series70boy]

have thought about it but the clock it actually quite small, cant find a counter at that sort of size!

and that vent thingy by the cars current clocks is where the digital clock goes on the higher models (barley big enough for 4 fingers let alone a clock)

thanks all the same though

i think he meant to 1 in the middle dude just make a mould out of the actualy vent part itself, im sure there are smaller tacho's for sale than that vent? measure the vent and check the web for 1, then just cut a whole in the vent big enough, wrap the new tacho in cling film and fibreglass around it spray it grey job done

EDIT: or if your not all that confident with it, im sure you can find a vent from a breakers off ebay or something

I would personally custom make a pod of some sort, and place them exactly where your drawing gauges are.

hi

check these sites for ideas there are more , maybe you can find something digital that will fit into that parcel pocket or whatever it is behind your paint drawing

or something custom to mount in the same spot you can get 50mm guages for almost all functions in digital or analogue

let your creative juices flow

yeah i thought that that would look nice too

and thanks for all the input guys, am going to have a really good look through all the options, digital dials but it does look like custom fabrications are the best option!!!!

will keep you all posted as there should be a few goodies coming for my car in the not too distant future
