Heres a tip for you guys with the gauge pods.... you know how sometimes our gauges will sit or settle a little out of place and you can see that white line between the pillar and the gauge ring? Like this....

Exagerated:


Sometimes they do look like this:


Get some of these.. 2" rubber O-rings:


Put the O-rings between the pillar and guage ring and never see that white line again:


I did this in my old car with my autometers and it worked great.

Did you make them or buy them assembled? If you bought them, where did you get them?

Where do you guys get your pods from? How flexible are they as far as mounting positions? (I notice some of you have them cocked more towards the driver more than others). And is it just me, or do I see some of them molded into the A-pillar, as opposed to some that are just tacked-on to it? Fill me in here.

Thanks! It is custom but not that hard to do. All I did was remove the cubby hole & cig lighter and put a piece of plastic over it.

Those are very nice, mine look like crap so I won't even post up. But I so have a favor to ask, can some of you with the mechanical nitrous pressure gauge post up some pics of how you hooked the braided line up from the bottle and to the gauge? Also, does it waste a lot of the nitrous having the extra length of that line? I ask because I am trying to decide on whether I want a mechanical or electric gauge.
