Flyrx7 Gauge Pod

Hey all, been trying to find a left hand drive 4 pod 60mm gauge pod for the dash of the fd. Only two people that make them, that I know of, are flyrx7 and Shane Drake. Shane isn't making them right now and I sent flyrx7 an email but I'm not expecting a response. Does anyone have one they wouldn't mind parting with?

The prosport one is still available. It claims their performance 60mm gauges fit it.

On ebay

Yeah. The prosport gauges are 52mm and the faces are 60mm which allows them to fit in their 52mm. I have 60mm Defi gauges coming.

I got a response from flyrx7 after about a week back in december. Probably your best option. I have a dual pod from drakes and need a triple now

Yeah I sent flyrx7 an email a week ago or so. Drake's is out of commission right now because he's in the process of building a new shop. There's a couple things I'd like from him.

I know this is an old thread, but just wondering if anyone has been in touch with flyrx7 (Frank) recently?

I got in touch with him September last year and he got back to me fairly quickly saying he was planning on doing another run, but I've tried to contact him again a few times since January and not heard anything back. Just wondered if anyone else has had any joy as I'm really keen to buy another pod if he is producing a few more.

I believe Drakes is back in operation in some capacity. You can try him, my center speaker pod is still holding up great.

Sorry guys, been out of commission on pods for awhile. I’ve got all the emails in my inbox and I’ll try to get responses out in the next few days. I’ll be making more, just not sure when yet.

Regards,
Frank

ps, send inquiries to flyrx7@aol.com

Good to know you're still around Frank! I sent you an email a little over a month ago.

I got in contact with flyrx7 through his aol acct and he had said he would contact me at the end of last year to get some out but never did. I went with Shane Drake instead at draklore.com and am very satisfied. I'd recommend going through him instead.
