A-Pillar Gauge Pod

Anyone know if one is in existance for a D2?

Yea, I just picked up a FAZE EL Pod that holds 2 gauges.

I will post pics when I am finished.

Naaa, It just seemed to be the most logical place to mount my oil pressure and water temp gauges. It's close to where the wires from the sender units come through the firewall.

I had a motor let go a while back and now I'm pretty paranoid about alot of things.

I have never known what my oil pressure was and I have been using my Rovacom to keep an eye on the temp (it had been running a little on the hot side a while ago). The rovacom works pretty good, but it's kind of a hassle to keep the laptop from sliding around (especially while wheeling).

I did not want the big gauges (in cups) on the dash, but wanted some digital gauges somewhere in my line of site for quick reference.

The gauges can be set to blink at a given reading to catch my eye when temp gets too hot or oil pressure gets too low.

Anyway...the job is finished now except that Summit sent me a feul pressure gauge instead of an oil pressure gauge.

Guess I'll be making a call tomorrow.

I will also get the digital camera from work tommorw and post pics if anyone is interested.

It may look ghetto, but I don't care. It does what I need it to do.

Peace,

Well...here it is...at the risk of getting flammed...

Like I said, I don't care THAT much if it looks ghetto, it does what I want it to do.

I noticed while looking through the view finder of the digital camera, that the individual digits of each display were blinking (but not to the naked eye), so the numbers are a little funny in the pics. I guess it must be an offset in the refresh rates between camera and gauge display.

Also the fuel pressure gauge is supposed to be oil pressure. Summit is sending out the right gauge today.

Many thanks to Jimjet for hooking me up with the hose and fittings for the remote oil pressure manifold.

For the temp sender, I welded a nut to the water neck coming out of the intake manifold and tapped out at 1/8" NPT. It is about as close as I could get to the existing temp sender in the intake manifold, but I am still off by about 3-4 degrees acording to Rovacom (New gauge shows lower).

No leaks anywhere so far.

Pleace,

The FAZE EL Pod was a pretty much a universal fit.

You can trim it and (I believe) heat it to make it comform to a specific A-Pillar.

It seemed to fit mine pretty good without having to heat it.
