Nice Gauges White Weapon, just to clarify your other options not being worth it comment, I will just clarify a few things for you so you understand the difference. Pod holder you have whilst fine, is vacuum formed. Tooling would be about $1000 to produce and take about 1 day to make. Plastic used is General Purpose ABS sheet, each unit produced is different than the last as the plastic sheet is heated the sucked down over a mould which doesnt allow for consistancy in parts as the sheet heats and cools unevenly. The alternative you speak of is as follows. Tooling consist of 3 moulds costing $38000 made from nitrided hardend tool steel taking 9 weeks to make. Parts are Injection Moulded which means polymer beads are melted and hydraulically injected into the mould under 400 tonnes per square inch of pressure. Each part is identical to the last as well as a superior finish and fit. Plastic used is a UV stabilised ABSPC and Acetal engineering plastic, far superior in longevity and far more expensive than general purpose ABS sheet. Now, dont get me wrong, Im not bagging you or the SS product, I mearly want you to understand that you do get what you pay for, so to say they are not worth the extra money is incorrect, they are priced accordingly to quality and fit. If you pay $40k + for a car, why settle for second best with your accessories. See the attached pic. Cheers Jeff ← For $155, you can't go wrong with the tri pod considering, not too long ago, people were charging $250+ for the phoon bi pods Out of interest, how much is the SS holder?? surely it can't be that much cheaper!! Mind you, for my personal choice, even if it was only $50, I think I'd still pay the extra and get the tri. Hell, I'm thinking of getting one and replacing my phoon pod with it more money spent on the car
