I've been looking for a mounting solution for gauges in my C70. Has anyone ever seen this? Seems like it might be a fairly decent looking solution. Right now I just have my boost gauge mounted in a pod on my steering column, but I don't really like the way it looks. I need a place for my WB02 gauge as well and 2 pods would look, well,, yucky. wacko.gif

wow that does look like a nice setup, I just have the din pod that Horse made for us. Not bad price either since its all alum. It will make the interior alot cleaner looking than having the cup style. I'd say go for it jwm.
