Looking for these. Did a search and all I got was 2 year old group buys.



Does anyone still make these?

 

from what I have seen No.
I did PM Ian99rt (?) awhile back and he said he may do another run of them if he can get Family things caught up.

 

I am about to make the mould for those.

Just a question: Why is it called the idiot cluster gauge pod? Is the angle makes them impossible to read? I am asking because I will get the sample so should I just make the same exactly or modify it to make a smart gauge pod?

 

Because they replace the idiot lights.

 

Oh ok now I ... kind of understand!

 

The name 'idiot light' refers to the stock warning light cluster that is in the middle of the dash.
This gauge pod uses the same mounting location.

The trick of this (or any) gauge pod is getting the angle correct so the gauges are facing the driver. Other than that, the shape shouldn't be tough to replicate.

 

Ok got it. Thanks for the explanation.

 

I made a vacuum forming mold for these a LONG time ago to make them out of ABS Plastic, like back in 2005, nothing ever happened with it and the mold was destroyed by accident, I'm glad to see that something like this was actually made!

 

hi everyone we just introduced this to our product line.
carbon fiber will be an option so will color matched to the interior, making samples right now.

 

These are angled for a LHD car right? Any chance of doing some RHD?

 

Another "trick" to consider would be cowls for the gauges.
That location is quite exposed and without shrouding, the gauge faces are frequently washed out in the sunlight.
