Interior 2nd Gen Most liked posts in thread: Gauge Pods

Well, if you have a R56, item 11 is the oil pressure switch. So the connection would be at the point.

Hope this helps.

 

I like the Cravenspeed Flexpods:cornut: I have Glowshift gauges with the 52mm gauge pods and the scangauge flexpod holder. It looks great on my R52 Conv:ihih:

 

Go big or go home! 67mm pods from Cravenspeed are sweet. My opinion: anything smaller looks toyish. The OEM R50/R53 gauges are 52mm. I'm in the middle of a dual gauge install this weekend, and I'll post pictures when I'm done.

Old setup with one 67mm / 2-5/8" Autometer Mechanical Boost Gauge and iPod holder:

 

I used several of the different cup holders from Craven along with Marshall Gauges. They were designed in cooperation with custom mini shop and Marshall's gauges to match our interiors for both gauge appearance and lighting. Most gauges are available in both electric and stepper motors. The reason I say several different cup holders is that I went from 2 gauges to 3 and finally 4. Current set up has Electric Boost/Vac, Water temp, Oil Pressure and Volts. I went thru custom mini shop for current pricing on everything from the gauges to the pods and with lots of options available found Steve the owner and a fellow Mini Owner was a great help.

 

I know that some people like the OBDII gauges much like they use the Scan Gauge hookup, I however wanted something that I could scan when driving and see the position of the gauges and not have to try to read a small number when when hitting the twisties. As for oil sensor I have the Craven tapless adapter generation 2 setup.

 

Maybe its just my bi-focals that is causing me to go with an analog gauge look. With the stepper motors these are much more accurate. However it does not matter which way you go the fact that your adding gauges gives you more information then when you first purchased your car.

 

ALTA pods SUCK.

theyre cheapo plastic and they can crack at the ONE screw point, and thus 'fall' with bumps.

I rather dislike mine. After some work they stay but are still so very flimsy

 

It screws back into the tapless oil adapter. The Craven parts might be more expensive but they are built to last and they are always trying to find ways to make them better while keeping the costs down.

 

I like my my toyishness

 

Which one is the "auto pilot" switch?

Ahhhhh......
Lynn, any problems with sensory overload? Or maybe it's sensor overload?

 

It's right next to the EJECT handle. :idea:

 

I honestly don't think a 747 has that many insturnments, but it looks impressive.
