    Gauge pod options

    So I really don't like the A-pilar pod look and was wondering what options we've got in terms of steering column mounts? I found this one from Rally Road: http://www.rallyroad.net/content/e36...ted-gauge-pods

    Didn't know if there was an option for a single since I'd like to mount my boost gauge and don't plan on using the 2nd spot.

    I use that one boost on left afr on right. Works pretty good. No single option, you can remove the 2nd ring though.

    that wouldn't be a bad idea since I was kind of curious what the Dinan SC tune's AFR looks like.

    Or you could do this...
    Remove the analog clock and install it there. As for the rings not matching I had a company swap the rings for me. They put on the chrome ring on my vdo oil pressure gauge (they took it off of my analog clock).

    That would work except I've got VDO water temp, oil temp and oil pressure gauges there instead of the factory gauges. I think I might just go with the Rally Road piece and remove the 1 side until i get another gauge to fill the spot.

    That's exactly my plan for either my boost gauge or an AFR gauge.

    Did ACS make gauge pods for the Z3? Their E36 pods are really slick
