Default Defi Pod......nightmare

i bought a set of defi gauges and pod,not cheap.When they turn up the pod is scratched and the front clips are missing.So i order a new one,a week later i ring the company up to see where my pod has got to only to be told they havent ordered it yet waiting for more orders to make it worth their while so i cancelled my order.I found another company advertising defi pods so i ordered one.When it turns up it is an ATI pod which i have to start cutting and sanding so my 60mm gauges will fit.To say i am pi_ _ed off is an understatement.
So is there such a thing as a genuine Defi pod?If yes who sells them?

AFAIK, Defi did make pods, but 99% of those out there are aftermarket. Each Defi gauge comes with a single plastic pod to suit.

Do you want a single, double, or triple? for what size gauges?

I have three 60mm Defis in a Scoobymania pod, and 2 more 52mm ones in an Area 51 pod on the A-pillar.

Both pods no problem.

the pod i bought is from scoobyworld it is an Ati one the instructions say you have to break off the plastic then sand it smooth to fit the 60mm gauges.
Does anyone in this country sell genuine Defi pods?

the one that came with the gauges i bought is a Defi,it looks a bit better than the ati in my opinion.its just a pity the seller didnt mention it was scratched and two clips broken off before i bought it.

Why would a genuine one need to be sprayed?
