That does look smart, i am wanting to go for pillar mounting gauges.

I did look at these but was unsure on the fitment.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1606932444...#ht_2332wt_907

As £48 is alot for a pod when i guess you could make a £8 one fit...?

Cheers Glenn... The only reason I bought that pod was I've had one before and they fit so so well without having to muck about with it and it looks so factory.

I know that... but I prefer the psi gauges... As when my dumpvalve had a slight leak I noticed the 2psi difference..!...the stack in psi are great.. I've got one to go in the Cossie to replace my normad one.
