ASAP help plz......... Gauge Pod and gauge

[bigal0043]

Alright so i have an 2 5/8 egt gauge and ordered a 60mm gauge A-Pillar pod am i going to have any problems??? i have only seen 52mm and 60mm pods.... so when it came time to order the pod i figured 2 5/8 comes to around 62mm in the conversion so it would be the closest.....just making sure it fits before they ship out the pod..

no, gauges that fit your pod will be advertized as 60mm. you will have to trim quite a bit from the pod for the 2 5/8 to fit.

so what should i do.... i already have the egt gauge.... i have a 87 turbo supra and this was the only pod i found that would fit without customizing it... think it is going to be a problem to trim it down?????? or should i find a diff egt gauge??

Well, 62mm is 1mm cut all around the pod hole. this might work, but it might not.
What color is your interior? if it doesn't work, maybe I'll buy the pod from you
I would source a 60mm EGT gauge, and sell that one. but like i said, there might be 1mm of meat around the hole to trim it in.

cough---dremel---cough cough. 1mm is nothing... I'm sure you can make it work.

If it's a lotek, I'm not sure...

i had a lotek pod with the smaller size, just bored it out with a file to fit the 60mm gauges.

 

[bigal0043]

k thanks for the input..... ill try it out when i get it


edit............ another question is that i have a 52mm boost gauge is there anyway of putting that in the 60mm pod? like an adapter or anything?
