Default Late classic gauge pod?

Has anyone in this wide community come across a triple 60mm guage pod to suit the late classic dash? I'm after the one that replaces the centre flap/cubby on the top of the dash. On ebay they sell ones for 52mm for like £30 (doesn't look like you can open them out to 60mm due to a plastic return) but the 60mm are £100+ from China. Its not the cash thats the problem, more the risk of spending £100 on something that doesn't fit. I'd rather give my money to a reputable UK seller with a quality product but I just can't seem to find anywhere. If you have bought one and are pleased with the product, please let me know where / how much you got it from.

Cheers,

Tim

I've bought A-pillar pods from Nomad, that are a perfect match for an OE item.
They do what your after: http://www.nomadracing.com/catalog/p...roducts_id=479

Although its black, so not sure how good a match that would be, if its like the a-pillar pods, then it would be good.

Thank you.

I've never heard of Nomad - that is exactly what I am after

I used to have a Punto, and it was the only firm that did these back then.

I've bought 3 pillar pods in total from them, but may get another as I'm thinking of losing one of my gauges.

Mine came from Scoobymania, now Area 52, they mark it for you and you cut it. Mine was done slightly UNDERsized, then Dremel'ed out to a TIGHT fit.

Cost £80 and is an exact match for the classic dash.

That's the one. You might have dusted it before photographing it

Thanks, but not keen on a-pillar pods. I prefer the centre ones for 3 gauges.

Thats what everyone I ask is saying - oh mine cost £45 delivered

That'll teach me for going from an early WRX to a V5 STI

I've got the Defi's with the white face that matches the clocks. Just got to get the pod sorted. Pay-day Friday
