Custom vent integrated gauge pod

Item Interest





Selling my custom vent mounted gauge pod (gauge itself not included). This was specifically designed for the VEI systems V1 Radar gauge,
but should fit any other 52mm pod with similar dimensions (53.5mm diameter, 30mm until you hit the back brace). The back brace
has mounting holes for this specific gauge, so you'll have to figure out a different way to mount other gauges. Also there is no cap on the backside, so you'll have to find someway to cover that.

Couple of issues:
1.) The pod doesn't exactly face the driver, so you're viewing it at a slight angle (see pics).
2.) The front lip of the vent isn't flush with the dash, it sticks up about a mm (see pics).
3.) Vent grates are thinner than OEM

Selling this because I have ordered another piece with the above issues fixed.

I designed it, I'll make it available for purchase on my shapeways account once I test fit the new revision, hopefully later on in the week. It'll be roughly ~$70.

Thanks! It's printed from black nylon from shapeways. It's the same material I ended up using for my nexus 7 mount:

Hey, yeah you can still buy them from the link. I think they're pretty much done, it only says in development because I haven't gotten any feedback on them from those who purchased them. If you're interested PM your address and I can send you the one I took off my car when I sold it.
