bowthruster Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Any recommendations for a centre pod or side one(prefer centre) and gauges as well.New/used not to fussed.And are they hard to fit?Not silly money though.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 What do you want to display ? If your ok with the basics of electricity you'llbe fine I fitted mine in about an hour. I have depo LED gauges but there are others prosport are popular too. Think I paid about 60 quid for a dual oil pressure & boost plus another 20 for a dash pod from ets racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I had sane problem try www.etsracing.com it's only a small company and he hand makes the stuff so fit may need to be trimmed. Scooby part and world do them aslso but are a bit more pricy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowthruster Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 Found some pods but where to get the gauges-some £65 each! Christ had to have a lay down :D Then theres china cheap ones on eBay about £6 each..Dont really want them either..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Have you thought about something like these ? http://www.deporacing.eu/catalogue/multi/ Only have to buy one :-D obviously the price jnvludes all the senders and what not. You could prob get them on the bay for half price but you'd have to buy the eender on it's own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 You posh tart lol.I paid £3 for mine from Japan and made my own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Lol it was only 56 quid delivered I think. These days the car is my only indulgence so I thought I'd treat myself. Only other cost were a couple of meters of vac hose and a gallery adaptor for the sender to fit into :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 All good mate as long as you can read the info thats all that matters, do the go amber at night if you wire them into lighting circuit? I only went for a dual one as didn't want loads of gauges, personal preference really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowthruster Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 Yes they light up amber...If i cant fit them i'll have to ask someone on here :) For beer tokens All it says is oil and water sensors included full fitting kit with instructions I ordered boost,oil pressure,oil temp..Do i need any vac pipe for the boost gauge? I have emailed them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Maybe worth getting a meter or two as the stuff you'll be cutting into will be old and will prob split. You will also need this http://www.scoobyparts.com/interior/gauges-fitting-pods/oil-pressure-oil-temperature-gauge-fitting-kit if they haven't included it in the kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 There not hard to wire in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Hardest bit will be getting the blanking plug out from the top of the block. Mine was thread locked for good measuure. And the firewall grommet is a pain to get through. May be worth cheating and getting these :D http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180735824927?redirect=mobile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
