Speaker mount gauge pod STL?

Does anyone have a 3D printable file of a center speaker gauge pod? I'm looking for a 52mm RHD dual pod but I might be able to make do if someone could provide me with the model of the baseplate with the clips. I'm willing to buy the stl if it's what I need!

There is one on thingiverse for a LHD car I believe. Search Rx7 on that site and it should pop up. I haven't printed it yet so I can't confirm fitment.

edit: might be able to adjust the LHD stl to give you a good start on the RHD pod?

Are there not readily available RHD speaker pods? RHD aftermarket is usually plentiful. Or, just looking for a 3D printing project? Drakes also makes/prints one, but they have stopped taking orders to catch up on back orders.

Most of the offerings by JDM companies are double sided tape onto the dash options. flyrx7 is the only one I know other than drakes that did the speaker pod.

I saw that one on thingiverse but it doesn't actually clip in, it requires you to stick it to the speaker cover. I would love a flyrx7 one but haven't been able to find where to order it. Same sorta story with the Drakes one, it looks quality but I don't know how long I'll be waiting until he can settle back in. So my plan in the mean time was to print one to use temporarily or keep it if I could cast it in something that wouldn't melt too fast. Maybe I'll have to dive into Fusion 360 or something along those lines and see if I can make my own.

I was going to say the same. I love mine. Excellent quality and would be worth the wait.

Yeah most people swear by flyrx7 pods, when they get them.

I have a prosport double 52. It clips in and I like it. I've heard about heat warping or similar, but my car doesn't sit in the sun, and I've had no issues so far. Probably a windshield protector would prevent any heat issues.
