A Pillar Gauge Pod

Does anyone have or know where I can purchase a gauge pillar, preferably in alcantara but will consider other materials. I just need a place to stick a 52mm aquamist gauge.

Find a smashed e55 and take the headliner? Have your grandma sew you some trim you can stick on with 3m adhesive? lol

Check out the big brain on mkiv! OMG that was clever AND entertaining. I wish I could have thought of that on my own!

Now that mkiv has the material part figured out perhaps someone can point me in the direction of obtaining the actual pod? Or do you have a solution for that as well mkiv?

lol. You took that pretty hard, eh?

It can't be that hard to make. Find generic w211 a pillar. play a bit with a generic 52mm pod (http://www.ipdusa.com/uploads/images...size_13212.jpg) and set it up anywhere along the a pillar you'd like depending on your height preference, and go to town with some epoxy and wrap it.


Or check out this thread. It seems to have what you're looking for. And PM the guy that is making them. (hint: it's Shardul)

Nah, I was just playing along

I saw that thread but am not really interested in arts and crafts time. Just thought perhaps someone had one laying around.

Thanks mate, much appreciated!
