I just got a great deal on some Defi BF gauges and have been looking high and low for a 3 or 4 pod 60mm center speaker guage holder! Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've already searched and only ran into dead ends or dead links. Thanks!

This is a tough one. I would scour the FS section for flyrx7 pods

He's looking for a 60mm gauge pod. The Prosport one is 52mm, but they can fit Prosport 60mm gauges only, because they have a stepped design that will actually fit inside a 52mm hole. Defi (or any other) 60mm gauge will not work in their pod.

Yeah, I've been looking for the flyrx7 one and tried to email him. He hasn't been on this forum for about a month.

Im pretty sure he is done making them.

I made my own. Looks better than most in my opinion. I used some PVC pipe from home depot with a bit of mighty putty (that stuff they sell on TV). i pulled the grill off the center speaker, gorilla glued the pipes on, and filled in the gap with the putty. I did this years ago for my boost gauge on the column. Using some black interior paint, it matches the dash perfectly. Total price, $25 (not counting the elbow grease).

Not a bad solution if nothing else is availible.

Now that looks awesome! I'm a hands on guy and would actually prfer to make it myself. Thanks for the ideas!

danewbern, what curve angle and length did you use? I like that radius.

Wow danewbern's came out really well, but I see them pop up semi-often in the for sale section.

i use a p-trap union. i went to home depot with the gauge and did trial and error until i found a fit. here is a pick of what i found and where i had to cut it. the trick was finding on that had a small straight section before the curve started. i also cust the mounting bolts off the gauges. the curve is snug enought that the gauge's dont need anyhting else to hold them in, although i bet you could use hot melt glue for it. the paint also was important because it matches so well. i order it from blackdragonauto.com. its the perfect color for the interior, but i have also used it on the cowl cover by the wipers and on the headlight bezels.

i did two, but this could probably fit three i think.

I really appreciate everybody's help! I was able to contact FlyRX7 and he had a pod instock. Before he emailed me, I was looking for the PVC with that curve and I actually saw the trap and was thinking about doing that exact thing! Thanks a million guys!

i wish i would of thought of that. i just used pvc as main gauge holder and fiberglassed the rest. i think im going to take your idea when i add another gauge or two

Just purchased a quad 52mm pod from Frank (Flyrx7) and he told me that he is still actively making them.

^^^ This is true. He said he had the triple 60mm instock and the quad 60mm being made, not sure about 52mm. I just received my triple 60mm pod and the quality is second to none! I don't think I could have come close to it trying to make it myself with pvc pipe!
