That pic was taken before I finally got the sh*ts with them falling off and just removed them all together... I reckon the guages look bigger and are easier to read with them off anyhow...Chris Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21753-fpv-factory-gauge-pod/page/2/#findComment-321969 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if only I can get my hands on a fpv pod CheersKaine Yeah no worrys will do mate.Still working on the pod, and im going to get an auto electrition to do the wiring because I cant bring myself to do it!!Do what I did to get the pod. Go to a dealer and get a vin from an fpv in the used car yard. Just crap on that you are writing a text message and copy it to your phone!! Its the perfect crime!! And its definetly worth it!!

Robit28 Member 385 Member For: 19y 6m 2d Location: Brisbane Posted 14/12/05 09:07 AM Share Posted 14/12/05 09:07 AM Went to my local dealer with these part numbers and can get everything but the bottom mount which is VIN protected. doh! The retaining screws I would buy from a hardware as they charge you $19 + GST for them.....ouch!I am still looking to see if I can find something somewhere. The VIN number is requested when a dealer orders them from FPV so if someone has ordered them in and the person didn't pick them up, they will gladly sell them to you.Rob.

Use a flat blade screwdriver to prise it out carefully. It's held in by 4 spring clips, just the same as the FPV pod.Once you get the cover off, the trick is to get your wiring and boost hose (if using mechanical boost gauge) down to the firewall. I used a bit of wire to thread down first (on the drivers side of the pod). Once it came through to the footwell, I attached the wires and boost line to pull them through.The next trick is to provide clearance in the uncovered nacelle of the dash to allow the gauges to fit properly, without fouling on the dash or plastic moulding. Mechanical boost gauges tend to have their brass fitting prodruding a fair way back, requiring a bit of cutting/filing (or as one guy posted, use a soldering iron to melt away the unwanted region.... less chance of plastic swarth making a mess back there) Once the gauge pod (with gauges) fits properly, you can work on the wiring.Dash light control is good to have, so as to vary intensity with rest of instrument panel.On the back of the spotlight switch, you can tap into the dash light power. There are other sources for dash light power too, but that's where I tapped in. If you have an auto, you can pierce the rubber boot which covers the hole in the firewall where the clutch rod goes through to the engine bay (on the manuals).Not sure where to go in the manuals.... might need to drill a new hole and use a grommet/silicon sealant to prevent fumes getting back into cabin.With wiring/boost hose through to engine bay, just a matter of attaching to sender units/boost source.cheerstom Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21753-fpv-factory-gauge-pod/page/2/#findComment-324643 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it requires repacing, its about $120 over the Ford Spares counter.Whilst I had mine out, I modified it with a brass T fitting to mount an oil temp sender.cheerstom Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21753-fpv-factory-gauge-pod/page/2/#findComment-324653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
