Project 2018: Really get the car finished -- Turbo OM617 greater than 175 MPH goal.
RED W123 - left Germany as 240D in 1982. Full AMG body kit less rear apron, 2:65LSD, five speed Getrag 717.400, manual steering, read leather interior, manual brake conversion, electric water pump (EWP), and a bunch of other goodies ...
Looking to buy or at least info on where to buy the 3 pod cluster for guages which would mount to the "A" pillar molding. I saw some pictures somewhere on this forum of a set which looked like it was made at the factory in Germany it looked so good.

As you can tell, I am learning gauges right now.
Do they sell a gauage that bounces around or goes through a certain number of readings. For example, one gauage which does a "sweep" through a few sensors which would reflect tempertrue X, then Y, and then Z, and back to X, Y, Z ... I am wrapping up my new and improved WVO system, and I want a gauge which monitors 3 temps: The grease right before it hits the lift pump, a temp reading as the WVO sits in my 50 plate HE, and a temp gauage for the coolant right before it enters the HE. I want a 3 gauage pod. I wish I could find the damm picture on this forum or somewhere where someone had one and it looked factory. I want 3 gauages on the A pillar. The 2nd gauage is for the motor oil ... same deal with a sweep of temps for varing sensors. 3rd gauage would be for the coolant. I am on the verge of wrapping up a ton of R&D in my DD. Just need to also pester Led-Panzer about some aluminum work. Between college drama, R&D, wife who has a super long honey do list right now, and the list keeps growing ... poop

03-27-2013, 01:59 PM #8I know exactly the gauge pod thread you're talking about, the kid just used a generic pillar pod, hair drier, and fiberglass/bondo to make it work.
