Megane Boost gauge pod

[Kendy9090]

I have bought a boost gauge but the pod I bought it with was cracked in transit and I'm struggling to find a replacement, need a single gauge mount for the pillar, anyone know where I can get one from?

Okay I think I'm going to try and butcher the double one and see if I can make it look presentable, if that fils I will order a universal and try and make that fit!

Worth speaking with @Paul B from Diamond Performance? He could probably make one specifically for the Megane and sell them through the shop here, or his channels, or both.

Yes, shout away ... always looking for the next thing to get on the machine ..

Its something Paul - that gets asked so often in the megane circles.

A simple 3 guage pod that would sit where the clock is, but angled for RHD vehicles would do quite well I think.

This is generally what most people want/ask for - highmast75 has that effect on people lol

Dijon made this for him, but its angeled for LHD...

I'm looking for just a single gauge pod for the a pillar! Can find loads of universal ones but I want one that fits properly!

 

[Paul B]

All we would need is an old trim for the pillar and what size gauge you wish to use, then we can mock up a tester before making a final mould...

I will have a look on eBay for interior trims..

 

[Kendy9090]

That would be brilliant! I will get the measurement for the gauge

 

[Paul B]

or you could trim your damaged one to suit your pillar trim, post it to me and I'll make a mould from it and post it back to you....

I like that a LOT.....And a similar one could be made for the Clio II as well...

I just trial fitted it in my car before I start cutting and it's isn't even close to a good fit, there's a large gap between the pod and the pillar

 

[Paul B]

I have something

Something to use as a pattern or you have an idea for another project ??

If YOU can get some pics up, this might help with making the first moulds,,

I have a double not single pod (universal) that you can have cheap? Nothing as advanced as development.

If you give mean addres I will send mine over to you as it's no use to me really

Let me know a paypal address and amount via messaging and I am sure we can use it for developing the next versions. Thank You James.

Hi Paul.... £15 quid ok??

 

[Paul B]

Ok,,, update so far.... Thanks to Kendy and James for sending what they had.... come in very useful for the initial guide....

As I have a Clio sat on the drive I have moulded up for that while I wait for Trim to appear for the Megane.... Ordered A pillar trim and centre dash / clock surround for moulding... will be a single gauge for the Pillar, Twin/Triple for the top centre dash for the Megane, Twin for the dash centre of Clio II...
I will add a pic of the pod made/test fitted for the Clio II, (gauge NOT supplied) which will be going for final mould making this week,Will be available in Satin Black or Textured finish for now... Talking to a company with an idea to have these flocked too if required..
