RHD gauge pods for MPS 6 and 3

[LittleredMPS]

Think I may have found a solution to the RHD gauge pod issue.

While most people know that you cant get a dash 3 mount pod for RHD anywhere, figures, there may be an affordable custom solution.

I just came across this place.

www.gaugepods.com // Lotek Inc.

Naturally its o/s, but they already do mps 6 and 3 LHD dash pods, so they dont need samples to make a mould.

They also do limited runs ie: 20 or greater, which is bugger all really.

The real kicker is the price, it might be in US dollars, but its stuff all.

Now I dont know about the 3 dash pod, but the mps 6 one looks pretty damned good.

Dont need one myself, but thought I might put it out there for the community.

***Correction to this thread, didnt realise that CPE do a RHD pod for the 3 but not for the 6.***

Link appears to be dead ... actually site appears to be dead. I think I killed it. Sorry guys.

The link is working.

I didn't think we could have a-pillar mounted gauges due to the airbags?

only problem is the way they are mounted.. I dont want to screw into my dash.. the CPE unit is a direct replacement for the stock panel.

I have a CPE unit and a guy the other day said he didn't realise that theMazda3 came from the factory with the pod fitted!

I have sent them an e-mail and await their reply.
You don't have to use screws, that is the "free/no charge option" you can also choose the "silicon/clamps" option although I would use windscreen sealat as it is can be removed at a later date far more easily than silicon.
Even easier would be double sided sticky Velcro tape.

Have to agree with Alan, after looking at his, the CPE pod does look "factory"

And definately better than piller mount. That would annoy the hell out of me. Big A pillers (because of airbags) is my single most hated thing about modern cars. If that airbag wasn't there i would probably see the car that is about to hit me giving me the need for that airbag

The CPE is a direct dash replacement. Dont get me wrong though this does look like a sweet alternative, esp at this price!

Ok, I sent them an email and although they are willing to do a 3 gauge pod in RHD form for the MPS6 they need and initial order of 40 units, it would seem that is the end of that lead

just bumping this up for those who might be interested.

theres a guy that makes the defrost vent gauge pod single and dual gauges. check out the thread here Mazdas247.com

I'll be getting one even though I haven't got a gauge yet lol. I will post up some pics when I get it.

prices are reasonable. think single gauges are avail for only 3 gen1. dual gauges seems to be avail for 3 gen1 and 2. MPS 6 gauges are also avail

All prices are USD and you need to add US$10 for shipping

Single gauge (M3/MS3-M6/MS6-Rx-8)
$65 for 60mm
$70 for 52mm

Dual gauge (Mazda6/MS6 and RX8 /MS3" 1rst and 2nd gen)
$105 for 60mm-60mm
$110 for 60mm-52mm
$115 for 52mm-52mm
