New gauges and a question
Just fitted some new Autometer Ultralite gauges using a J-W Racing Triple A-pillar pod (the only feasible option on a MY97). Oil temp, Oil pressure and Boost:
One little niggle - I've put the pod OVER the existing trim, rather than cutting the OE trim. It's a pretty good fit but due to the number of cables etc. it's not quite flush along the edge of the window:
As it's secure I just want to cover up the gap - I think some of that sticky backed foam strip/insulating strip type stuff would be ideal - I've looked in B&Q and they only do brown and white (it's draft excluder stuff).
Anyone know where you can get some? If not I'll just go to Autoglass or somewhere as it's the stuff they used when they replaced (cocked up) my windscreen.
Cheers,
Jamie
P.S. I know about the reflection in the photo

when fitting my 2gauge pod i secured it with a self tapper covered with one of those black number plate screw hiding platic things.
you can just see it above the top gauge in the pic.

Looks good dogpole, I might give that a try. I was trying to avoud putting any screw holes in though so that I can return it to standard without leaving any marks.
Trails, I got them from a fellow member of Hampshire Subaru, and the pod from j-w-racing. I'm off to Basingstoke on Sat but will keep an eye out. WTF is King of Concrete?!
