12-05-2014, 07:30 PM #1We have recently bought 2 thermo-forming machines for our fab shop. I have found it to be troublesome to find a gauge pod for the 300d. I'm trying to figure on if enough people would want this to justify making the molds. Also looking for ideas on how they should look, and where people would want them located on the car. Please post pics of ideas. Thank you.

english red rat rod 1977 240D, OM617.952 burning B99.9, iron 4-speed & 2.88 diff, 195/60/R14 on alloys, 5mph bumpers, battery in the trunk, 25mm swaybar, 4x ECE H4 lamps, double brake lamps, deleted sunroof, export zoll & california blue plates
gauge pods are hard to fit in W123. i think the only good place may be the switch panel (switches can potentially be relocated into the glovebox).

Btw - this is for a w123

12-07-2014, 09:18 PM #6I also was thinking about on the roof in the middle like in alot of truck running around this area. But i really like the speaker drive side idea. we should have the machine up and rolling in a few weeks, going to Indiana tomorrow to get the last one. Will keep posted on trial runs and stuff. thank you for the input.
