I fitted them using the original Autometer Rings left on, but the diameter is a little too small. Plus, they dont look anywhere near as good as the FPV rings..Danny.

TURBOXR I miss her... Donating Members 703 Member For: 20y 3m 4d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 23/07/06 11:35 AM Share Posted 23/07/06 11:35 AM that looks awesome!!! How the f*ck did you get the rings off the autometer gauges?? I tried but ended up gutting the pod so I could push the gauge further in and mount the fpv one on top.But I like yours so ill try it again.Also I found the illumination was too bright after my install, so I mounted a simple dimmer under the tissue box out of sight. Now it matches the dash PERFECTLY. Like ford put them there. Im also about to start work on a subtle single A pillar pod using the same fpv cup and ring as well. ill post up with the results.

The original ring will then come off (with a bit of effort depending on how good you lifted the lip..)I then got the glass, and glued them to the fpv rings..Because of the position of the guage in the pods, the FPV rings clip nicely on in place.I'm running the illumination to the dim line from behind the "spotlight" switch.. that way it will dim with the dash dim.Ohh, the Pillar using fpv pod will look great !!Danny.
