Possible "New" Banks dash pod set-ups

Saw this over on 1stGen.org...thought there might be some interest here.

1stGen.org ? View topic - Dash Guage Pods !!!

I have sent an e-mail requesting a couple units. So This was a timely post for me, since I was about to bite the bullet and purchase a generic 3 pod dash unit to use....but would prefer the Banks unit.

I don't facebook but my wife does. I had her go in and like the 3 pod right side. I have one in my 1992 W350 and wouldn't mind putting one in my RC. Honestly though I wish they would consider a 2 pod right side as I already have a factory tach in my RC. So I would only be interested in it for a EGT and boost pressure gauges. But I am sure with the 3 pod I could add an oil pressure or water temp gauge to get a more true idea of the important info.

That is what I want it for mainly...oil/water/volts and possibly fuel pressure if I opted for the 4 gauge pod.

It's easy to fill holes in gauge pods.

I would rather see one made for the right side of the dash. Have it stand up in the section where the dash drops off to the glove box area. Keep the gages down out of sight for the light fingered crowd.

Cool!

I have the 2 pod on the right side and need a 3. I have two Westach 2 in 1 gauges so that will give me 5 readings total.

I have another gen 3 pod that sits on the left that I had been toying with modifying to work. Looks similar to the one in his picture. I like the looks of the ones that sit on the right but after riding around with the empty one on my left I think that would be more practical and in the line of vision Philip.

I don't do FB....so that is why I posted up the link to the other thread...since it has an E-mail you can send your preferences too.

But would appreciate any updates as they come along.

Come on, you have to go with a 5 pod...as you stated earlier...it's easy to fill those holes.

If nothing else, you can put an autometer clock in one of the spots.

I already have one of the old 4 holers on the right.
I meant to say I wouldn't mind a 3 pod for the left. I must be in sewing mode everything is backwards
