Help me fab a gauge pod on the steering column.

Hey guys, I just ordered 4 gauges (boost, oil pressure, fuel pressure, and an A/F) and I need some help as to how to fab up a gauge pod for the top of the steering column.

First off, where would I get a gauge pod to use?
Would I have to cut anything or can I just use a very strong adhesive and call it a day?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I did see it but I was just wondering if you have to cut the gauge pod to make it fit. I'm not too sure where to get the gauge pod as well.

I would say to get this for $11
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SINGL...spagenameZWDVW
then use a razor blade to shape the bottom to sit flush on top of the steering column

+1 ebay. so i have heard.... crappy intakes crappy ball joints sts's snapping on people. ftl

dont get me wrong though you can find great deals on ebay that you would only dream of finding retail. IE my LC-1 or a emanage or a knock sensor or a coil pack ect ect.

pretty much if it looks cheap it more than likely is. i deffently have been by buying cheap stuff on ebay. somethings you cant just cheap out on ebay. but somethings really doesnt matter IE a gauge pod
