Posted 04/05/12 09:34 PM Share Posted 04/05/12 09:34 PM (edited) how are the gauges sitting on the hat of the icc? the look like there glued or screwed in? have the made a gauge holder to either sit on the icc or something like the ba-bf?The top hat is a genuine ford item so its a perfect match not only in colour but also fit. Theres a company in WA called Top End Audio that modify them to except the cups. They bolt up from underneath. If someone had the patience to do it and the tools it would not be to hard to do. You just need to cut 3 holes correctly in the top hat for the cups to sit in and work out a way of securing them.

neotim Member 276 Member For: 13y 7m 11d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 12/05/12 08:08 AM Share Posted 12/05/12 08:08 AM id love to get the pod that sits above the icc screen in my fg but I cant justify the $300 for it plus the cost of gauges plus install costs, would come to $1000+ where I live.It is an expensive setup going with the triple gauge pod on top of the icc. Mine ended up costing me like 1200 if you include the pod, the gauges I bought and getting them all connected.. Does look the goods when finished though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
