I am looking for a MINI auxiliary gauge pod mainly for the panel to house gauges of my choice. I would take the complete kit (gauges + harness/senders/hardware) as well if the price is reasonable.

I've been looking since they were NLA with no luck. I went on eBay yesterday morning like I always do and searched and there it was, someone had just posted the pod with gauges. I snagged them up so there is hope. Keep an eye on eBay. I paid $100 shipped and was perfectly content with the price.

Nothing wrong with your offer. Just that I don't happen to have an aero bumper. Would you take my kidney plus cash?

roll your own JCW dual gauge pod

I thought that I would give an update to my quest for a console dual gauge pod. I went ahead and took matter into my own hands. A bit of dogged determination and wit, I fabricated my own JCW (Just Copy Werk Ⓡ) pods for circa $2.50 piece of scrap aluminium I have laying around the garage.

I opted to only bore one gauge hole for now



I kept the CAD design database should anyone too want to make his/her own. Like the old radio days, send me a prepaid stamped envelope and you get the CAD designed database for free.

And of course, a $5.99 donation to defray my time earning less than minimum wage for a burrito would be highly appreciated.

Thanks for the good idea. You know my CAD database is just a tongue in cheek sarcasm, right? I know you do. It is a pencil traced outline on a gauge carton.

Oh, and CAD is Cardboard Aided Design.

I can make a PDF but I have to fire up the ancient XP Windoze machine to use the obsolete scanner.

I thought it would be more fun like people give away heirloom sourdough starter with snail mail.

Right, sorry to break it to you... but we're in the 21st century now, haha!
