SHOCK Team Grandpa Donating Members 1,921 Member For: 18y 7m 21d Gender: Male Location: Hunter Valley Posted 15/05/06 03:10 AM Share Posted 15/05/06 03:10 AM Heres the difference. Original FPV guage holders are injection moulded, so they come out of an injection moulding machine exactly the same every time. Aftermarket holders are Vacuum Formed, which means that every single one is moulded from a sheet of plastic. Each one then has to be indivdually trimmed to the required size to get rid of excess plastic that is part of this process. This involves a human input, hence the variations in each one. The tooling for injection moulding to make these would be around $30-$35k. The tooling for a vacuum formed unit would be no more than $5k. The reason the aftermarket guys do not use an injection moulded tool is because it would take alot of sales to recoup there return on investment. I know this because I have spent 27 years in the engineering plastics industry and have been involved in all forms of plastics processing,design and setup. Hope this helps answer your questions. By the way, I'd be interested in knowing if people are interested in an injection moulded 3 pod guage holder, identical to the FPV one but with a 3rd pod to allow for afr gauge or any other gauge to fit, this would be identical fit to the original gauge holder, ie no trimming and no ugly press studs, simply clip in as per the OEM unit. If I had enough interest, I may consider tooling up for it.CheersJeff←Ive spent 15 years as a Toolmaker in Adelaide Phoon and see where you are coming from. The studs look crap. Not sure if you get the volume, even on here, to cover your costs. Would be a damn sight cheaper than ebay though at $430 each for the two pod. Count me in lad I'll get one.... cheersJohno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

I am sure that people can find a use for the 3rd gauge spot.I hear that Whistler make a radar detector for a 60mm pod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSYCHO XRT THE PSYCHO XRT Donating Members 1,275 Member For: 19y 14d Gender: Not Telling Location: At the lights! Posted 15/05/06 06:18 AM Share Posted 15/05/06 06:18 AM (edited) I think it would be good Jeff. 2 gauges is enough in my opinion.Currently people are being ar$e raped for the FPV gauge pods with some charging more than 2 times what they are worth.I wouldn't touch the SS Induction gauge pod. Very poor quality.←Well, I have no issues wid mine atall!! I would have to disagree wid u Adam!! The quality of mine is fine!I have the twin SS Gauge Pods with 2 Blue ledded Cobalt gauges in them.It was a perfect fit for me and looks great to be honest.They are definately worth it considerating I spent only $300 for the whole lot!!
