LightningXR6T Member 197 Member For: 19y 9m 16d Location: Newcastle NSW Posted 03/12/05 04:33 AM Share Posted 03/12/05 04:33 AM I visited our local Ford dealer here in Newcastle, gave him a list of parts required and guess what, all in stock and handed streight over the counter no questions asked! A complete (less gauges) FPV twin gauge pod!Now I have a question I hope someone can help answer. What gauges brand/type etc are you using. I haven't priced genuine Ford, my mortage is already high enough!I have noticed that the silver surround clips perfectly to a standard VDO 52mm gauge. Unfortunately VDO have the most borrrrrrrrrring styles I've ever seen.I purchashed as nice pair of Boost and AFR Autometre gauges with carbon fibre faces but the don't suit the the factory surrounds!Any help will be appreciated. Even a link to some info will be awesome! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21753-fpv-factory-gauge-pod/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks just as good anyway IMO...Chris(sorry about the crappy photo...)

TURBOXR I miss her... Donating Members 703 Member For: 20y 6m 28d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 04/12/05 06:47 AM Share Posted 04/12/05 06:47 AM GdayJust in the process of putting mine in now. Im using autometer cobalt, lights up blue same as the dash. I had to grind the crap out of the inside and cut the back of the pod out to fit them in, Ill scratch build something to cover the back when they are wired up. Looks heaps better than the ss inductions pod I reckon. Worth the cash!! Still havent decided if im going to use the silver suurounds yet. looks ok without them I think?
