That looks good, how do you find the view of the gauges?

I've considered a Nomad pillar before, but having sat in a friends car with one I found that the gauges were angled too much towards the roof. I'm 6'1", so not exactly a short arse and I drive with my seat at the lowest point. It made the gauges difficult to read

My boost gauge is just in a universal gauge pod mounted on the dash to the right of the instrument binnacle and it points right at me. I'd like a more OEM solution to be honest, but the angle of the Nomad pod puts me off a little.

Any comments from those with Nomad's?

 

[Damoegan]

Its not too bad, Rich. I'm only 5'9" and find it ok so you should be ok too mate..

I think I'll have to have a second viewing so to speak, it may change my opinion. £48 + delivery seems alot to spend if I'm not guaranteed to like the final fit and finish.

A dremel, eyesight and lots of patience

It's not too hard, you just draw up where the gauge goes in, remove some material and try to fit it every now and then, I like to keep a tight fit so I dont have to use any glue or stuff.

Cheers guys. I'm still looking for the solution for me - the vent is quite a good idea I think, although I quite like the idea of the ashtray where it can be hidden away, just a shame it's in such a low position

 

[jake_h]

hey just wondering whether anyone can offer to do this for a fee......looking to have possibly one or two gauges fitted in the centre vents.......willing to travel!!
