Default Newage Gauge Pod

I have just ordered some Prosport stepper gauges on the group buy below

Prosport Stepper Gauges

and have ordered the adaptor kit for the oil pressure & temp gauges from Scoobyparts but I am struggling to find a gauge pod to match the original dash colouring, can anyone recommend a pod to suit?

How many Gauges did you order?

My gauges are mounted on the A-Pillar... the fit and color match perfectly.... its a TRUST greddy A-Pillar pod that houses 60mm 2 gauges....

its a lil' more expensive than the ones I seen, but think its worth it....

I ordered 3 gauges ( boost, oil pressure & oil temp ) as below, they are 52mm gauges and I want to fit them above the digital clock in the centre of the newage dash.

If you give him a ring Ty he will probably be able to make one to accept 52mm gauges because he makes all the pods in his own garage.

Just ordered the one above from Scoobyparts , I am a bit p1$$ed off with myself though as I ordered the oil pressure / temp sender conversion kit from them earlier today so I could have saved the double postage cost I have paid today.

It does look like a very good pod and it matches the dash exactly, thanks for finding it Calvin.

Are you fitting them yourself Ty?? Looks like I'll need some gauges on mine!! Probably go the Defi route if I can get them cheapish!!

The gauge pods normally need colour coding unless you go carbon

God those gauges are nice. I want something with a plain looking face, not these technicolour abominations that seem to be everywhere.
May have to have to spend more money this week now, Ive already bought rims and tyres but I suppose she wont notice these, she rarely goes in the wagon
