Center triple cluster for RHD FD3S

I've been searching all over, even for old flyrx7's. I found a center triple cluster on concept7 website, but I don't like how it's staggered to the outside. Makes zero sense, it should be staggered to the inside. I found another one on rhdjapan.com but it isn't one that goes where the vent is, it's actually screwed into the dash which I don't want. Anyway, can anyone suggest where I can find one? Appreciate it!

Found one made in the UK so will be angled correctly for your RHD, it's not the prettiest one I have seen but would do the job:

Triple Gauge Pod Mazda FD RX7 - Concept-7

Same thing on Ebay if you feel safer buying form there:

Pretty sweet as there are options for two different gauge sizes and finishes.

Yes but I think these will be angled the wrong way for a RHD car

Yeah in my first post I said I found the concept 7 one but didn't like it. Thank you though! I bought the prosport one to try to mess with it when I get it and see if I can make it point towards the RHD. Still on the lookout for another one exactly like that but pointing RHD.

Man do i feel like a dummy for missing that.....note to self no drinking and typing.......

I know i have seen one elsewhere but for the life of me cannot remember where......I'll keep looking!

I did find these ones that face centre for either LHD or RHD:

Haha, that's the only way to be on the internet! Sadly I'm on deployment but i'll fly home early in 9 days to say hello to some Crown Apple and lemonade!(Try it ) Thanks for the lookout, I definitely like the one from prosport but I'm not sure if i'll be able to make it work. I'll find out when I get home. I might try to cut it and plastic weld it at a RHD angle and put some weather stripping or something over it if it looks messy. We'll see, I'm not sure where i'll have to cut it yet. But if not I might get the one you linked here and see if I cant turn it a bit. I really wanna end up having everything very driver centric so I definitely want my finished product to be facing towards RHD. The concept7 one would be perfect if it was shaped better like these are. Thanks again Tom, I appreciate it!

The plate that bolts or sits in the speaker grill is removeable from the gauge pods.
Since the plate is removeable you should be able to modify or re-drill the holes to get the angle you want. Notice the three phillips on the bottom.

Off the top of my head they have brass inserts for the phillips screws.

Thanks, that actually helps a lot. Looks pretty easy to rig for RHD.

And take a look at this review to figure out how to take them apart without damaging them.
