One Step at a Time

The package from Glow Shift arrived via UPS yesterday, but my plans to get all the gauges installed right away were put on hold due to a shipping error.  Instead of sending me the 52mm 3-gauge pod that I ordered, they sent the 60mm one.  Not a big deal, a single phone call is all it took to get the right one cross-shipped along with a pre-paid return label, but it meant that I couldn’t get the new oil pressure, water temp, and oil temp gauges in.

I did, however, relocate the AFR and boost gauges to the frog-eye pod.  The pod screws in to the dashpad bit, just like the stock bezel, and then holds the two gauges.  Because of interference in the mounting bolts on the AFR gauge, I had to put that one on the right side and the boost gauge on the left.  That also meant that I had to re-create the wiring for the boost gauge so that the connector would reach all the way over there.  The gauges were also just a slight bit smaller than the holes in the pod, and I don’t have any of the mounting brackets for them, so I wrapped them with a little bit of electrical tape to take up the slack.  Looks great, works perfectly.
