Nice look! Is that "Alta" logo engraved or is it a sticker? I prefer not to advertise.

I don't mind the advertising.

My biggest problem with their gauge pod is the size of the gauge openings. If I remember correctly, it is 60mm. I haven't come across any 60mm gauges, but I may be looking in the wrong places. Perhaps it would help for Alta to specify which gauges they had in mind when the designed this piece...

I've also never seen pictures or prices of the "adapters" they mention to fit 52mm gauges to the openings.

Ya, it's really is designed for 60mm gauges. Installing 52mm gauges always turns out to be a custom job.

Here are pics of it on my car... they are just little pieces of silicone that fit in between the gauges and the pod.



In the coming months a friend and I are going to finishing development on a new gauge pod that is a great alternative to many of the gauge placements available right now. I do love the Alta pod and I intend on keeping it, but the setup we are creating is a good setup for more than 2 gauges... I will use it in conjunction with the Alta pod.

Where do you get those silicone adapters? Or did you make them yourself?
