Nice find. Have you ask them how much to ship to the US?

hate to burst bubbles, but i dont think those are any sort of "special" gauge pods... they look like the $12 ebay ones IMO.

also, take into consideration, the mini A pillar is nearly vertical, and those pods only adjust the gauges by a few degrees. you put that on a mini, you wont be able to see the gauge like in the picture. ill put $$ on that one.

a custom one will have to be developed. if someone wants to buy me one, im happy to mod it for you, we can work something out in exchange for time and work.

^ So you think these are not for MCS? Maybe its a generic pic on this guys website? So how would you mod That gauge pod if its not for a MCS? If i buy you one will it come back? Oh yeah whatever happened to the deal we talked about the plastic intake piece? NADA?

no, i doubt they are specifically "for" the MCS. it does look fairly generic IMO. do a simple ebay search, most of that stuff all comes from the same place in china.

i wouldnt mod "that" gauge, but one of the cheapy ebay ones. it doesnt look easy either. heck, i bet itd be easier to make one from scratch out of fiberglass.

anyway, here are some comparable ebay gauge mounts, that i feel are the same as the other guys...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-ADJUSTABL...d07c9b&vxp=mtr

and yes, i do still have the intake piece. i have all the parts i should need to mod it, and since ive completed several other mini related projects, that is the next one on the list. when its done, ill send it to you for testing!
