just spotted this top dash on ebay looks nice but don't like the price http://www.ebay.co.u...=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

That does look good. Probably not impossible to do yourself. Remove the old padding and build a fibre glass enclosure for the gauges and then recover it.

For the price i'd expect the holes to be cut in a straight line 

Nice idea though

[kezzkitkat]

Properly can do it for about 30 quid in meterials and abit of time and use the 150 to spend on the misses... Oh wait make than on more parts

[sledgehammer]

wonder how hard to fit a pod in that position ?

 

like the 1600 gt cortina mk2 ?

 

just looked & the gt was built into the dash as well

 

must be a car that had a centre pod for gauges raised above dash ?

 

found some in a search

I bet it wouldn't be hard fabricating one in steel and if you don't have a padded top dash like me you could weld it on ....

I think those pods would work. There is a small bulge in the middle of the upper dash rail when the padding is removed though.

Pretty sure the Mitsubishi L200 had like a triple pod thing too on the dash in the centre.

My only turn off is that it's obviously centred in the dash rail and it makes the 3 standard additional gauges on the dash stick out like a sore thumb that they're not centred and sets my symmetrical OCD right off!

I wonder what a twin pod would look like on the drivers side corner. Kind of like the pods turbo cars have on the A pillar.

I have a 3 gauge pod but I'm planning on mine going on top of the lower dash next to my oval binnacle basically in front of the drivers seat , I've put little hoods on my gauges so you don't get glare on them
