ss inductions holder

 

 

I'm getting one of these. Are they any good. Easy to put in and the 52 mil gauges fit fine?

[Lennox]

Yes 52mm fit fine, weird how they say on their website that they may not fit?

I'd only get a gauge holder like the above.

These cars should be kept somewhat classy, they're not japanese drift cars where you have 20 gauges going down the drivers side pillar and all over dash.

kinda.... the aeroforce gauges needed a few wraps with some tape to make them fit snug. the autometer gauge needed the holder modded to fit. (though its a mechanical boost gauge. mounting bolts had to be cut down, hooles for them had to be made bigger in the cup, the base plate had to be modded as the fittings hit.

also fairly easy to fit. I was a little concerned when the instructions said to use a screwdriver or butter knife though.... just dont loose the yellow clips into the dash.

I have autometer gauges and all I had to do was cut down the brass studs so the backs of the cups would go back on

If you use electric gauges you don't have to modify any thing on the gauge holder. Just have to trim the brass mounting bolts on the gauges shorter. Here is a pic of mine

I must admit, I didnt like the ss inductions, but after seeing the photos, they look really good.

Is it hard to install the ss inductions pod? is it a diy thing? also are the gauges hard to connect up or is it best to take them to auto sparky?

The SS pod just clips in to the factory position. It's the wiring and installing senders that will test you if you don't know what you are doing. It's not the most difficult job to do and there are a few tutorials on here, but save yourself the headache if you aren't 'mechanically minded'.

No they dont.You can't fit a mechanical autometer boost gauge to them without a grinder to cut a big hole in the pod then hack the top of the holder
