Fitting ScoobyMania 3 Gauge Centre Pod
Hi,
Has anyone any tips for securing a "ScoobyMania 3 Gauge Centre Pod" in a classic?
Are they supposed to have some kind of securing kit with them or do you just glue/seal them down somehow.
Cheers,
Jess

I assume you've removed the old oddment tray lid, and replaced the actual tray?
OK, when I did mine, to start with, the thing was so well made that it fitted just by pushing into place. It was tight enough to hold.
After about 6 weeks, vibration had loosened it a bit, and I just kept pushing it back, that is, until it slid right out under acceleration
:
After that, I put plasticene under the 4 corners, and slid it in again, then out, the plasticene showing me where contact was made.
I then removed the plas, and replaced it waith SMALL blobs of clear silicone, in the appropriate places.

I had mine fitted at scoobymania, and its siliconed in place . To be honest its not really a good fit, its a bit lopsided and raised at one side, which I couldnt tell straight after installation because of all the masking tape holding it down until the silicone set. I also asked if the gauges would reflect on the windscreen at night and was told that the "Definately" wouldn't..... but they do.
and are quite distracting.
I would use them for parts again though as they were very good prices, but I'd get a different pod elsewhere next time.

Gauges where £25 each delivered (AutoGauge) - chap called Si Dawson, not got his details with me.
Pod £80 + £5 del + VAT = £99.98 (expensive, but I wanted a flat top rather than wavy top pod).

Alcazar,
Oooh. Fortunately I had the holes cut before having the pod sent.
Defi's, nice, couldn't quite stretch the funds for those, just hope the one's I have will do the job.
