does any one know of a company that does a pillar mount for two guages to fit the legnum?? also for oil pressure, do i need a sandwich plate or can i get an adaptor for the oil pressure sensor?

no one,

you have to get a universal one and make it fit

you and get a T splitter to make the pres sensor in the same place as the factory one,

but a sandwich plate is easier

Hi

I dont know anyone who makes what your after, but I´ve made a a-pillar gaugepod for my VR4. Took aprox about 4hours of worktime. I bought the plastic cover for the a-pillar at the junkyard and then bought an a-pillar gaugepod from a dealer and molded them toghether. Results:

and from me...

I havent got round to blending my gauge pod......but from Eagletons great job I think I might just have too now..... but anway I just bought a custom mount from demon tweeks(originally for my granada V8 project) and modded it to fit(with files and heat guns) flush with the existing pillar... see ma photee below..... I also have a blitz sandwich plate for monitoring oil temp and pressure and I would recommend sandwich plates as they are really easy to fit and work well. (joke from a lollypop stick: what kind of witch lives on a beach?... a sandwitch.. hehe)

hops(I like beer) that helps...

you will find that a lance evo 4/5/6 is a very close match .... i have one here

Just thought I'd add that an evo 5/6 one is pretty close. I bought one and fitted it over the original one, its a bit wider and needs to be trimmed down though.

I love that.

Ideally I would like a tripple gauge pod like that under my single dine head unit, and ive seen custom gauge pods sat in the clock recess that look really nice.

Any idea on cost or work involved?

All I did was hacksaw out the old ashtray and sunglasses holder, remove the top housing and remade the lot in 5mm MDF and covered it in the cloth. I have since recovered the whole lot in Alcantara but the glue hasn't stuck very well and it looks horrible at the moment!

I have also removed my clock and put an Apexi turbo timer in there!

I'll take some more picks and post them up!
