Question

So just wondered what was lacking which means there only seems 2 b 3 gauge housings available for the top of the centre column on the face lifted models?
I know the shape of the dash is different but this surely aint the only reason prevent such a gauge housing on an older scoob is it?

think youve answered your own question. I was thinking of a 3 gauge pod, but theres not really anywhere for it to go in my94 without it looking poo.

I believe that there is a panel on the facelift model that is on top of the dash, this panel can be removed and the three pod mount fits in it exactly, BUT on our cars the dash is flat on top and thus has no panel to be replaced by the mount...

Thumbs up

Theres an A pillar 3 gauge pod being made and will be available soon, will fit all types up to MY01.

I can't find the thread, but it was started in the 'For Sale' section less than 2 weeks ago.

No reason other than no1 could be bothered makin 1
Guess wot i`m makin jnow though ??
Bottom profile completed recently, jus working on the mountings now.
BTW have a generic dual pillar mount in the car which was profiled 2 suit the A pillar and recently removed the 3 gauge panel from in
the c/console as u couldn`t c the gauges
And yeah b 4 any1 asks it`s got as many gauges as a fighter
aircraft (looks good in the dark though)
