Default Newage 60mm Pillar Pod

Does anyone on here knows where I can get hold of a single pillar pod (not the type incorporated into a replacement pillar trim) suitable for a single 60mm gauge.

I can find loads of 52mm examples and when I contact the suppliers they basically say that "they do not make a 60mm pod as it is not popular".

I fitted a Nomad replacement pillar trim with pod but it has cracked and tbh I am not a fan of the top mounting point either, when it is held in place by a screw/wall plug type arrangement with a plastic cap over the top.

I don't mind if the supplier is in Japan as long as I can get one.

Absolute nightmare....... I looked for a long time and ended up with a two pod arrangement for Defi 60mm boost and oil pressure guages!

I think your only option might be an out of stock G-Reddy 2 pod item which you can chop up to fit !!

Maybe Olly at RCMS has something he can help you with .....

as I mentioned.......nightmare !

I have found something which I think will do the job if they fit Newages, as per the link below from ETS Racing for anybody else who has a problem getting a 60mm Pillar Pod.

I agree with you about the screw and wall plug arrangment, the fit was not too bad either was the finish but the screw fitment is pants.

Sorry guys, you can cut them to make 60mm. The gauge covers the plastic so it looks good.

I have a facelift classic. The finish on the pillar pods is listed as Matt Grey. I take it that's not going to match?

You have to sand / cut the plastic from 52mm to 60mm. It doesn’t have to be perfect as it will be hidden by the edge of the Defi gauge, Easy job even olly Clark at RCM was impressed with it.
