Dash pod?

I've done a search, but not found what i'm looking for, please appreciate the amount of threads that come up when searching for the words 'dash' 'guage' and 'pod' before i get some snotty search comments. I want a dash pod mount like the one pictured below, does anyone know where you can buy them from? Its worth noting i need it for a right hand drive car so the guage mounts need to be on the right not left like in the pic.

Thanks, i would really appreciate the help. Would like a carbon style one.

I know it isn't exactly what you're working for... But this one works for RHD vehicles -> RHD gauge pod

I didn't see Retro-spec mentioned in the thread, just assumed he found a pic and wanted to know where to get one. I glazed over the RHD portion, my bad. You'll probably have to request it through one of the members here that imports stuff from Japan, Circuit Theory, Japan2la, RX7Boutique.com, etc.. since I don't see why anybody in the US would make a pod for a RHD car.

I'm sure you have imports in the US? I just assumed people might know some places that sold this kind of thing perhaps in the US, remember these cars are infact Japanese and JDM cars are rhd

Fact of the matter is, almost no one in the US carries RHD anything.

We actually imported every single one of them from Japan! There are plenty of lhd USDM models which makes importing a rhd one prohibitively expensive and almost impossible to legally register. A handful have done rhd conversions, bought it from canada, etc... but it's just not enough demand. Hopefully someone will chime in with a company name and you can ask one of the jdm parts importers to contact them. Good luck in your search!
