Looking to buy or at least info on where to buy the 3 pod cluster for guages which would mount to the "A" pillar molding. I saw some pictures somewhere on this forum of a set which looked like it was made at the factory in Germany it looked so good.

Anyone have a set ...

I vote re-engineer the instrument cluster to take smaller gauges, and then add gauges in there. I bet you could fit several more, especially if you got some combination gauges

-1982 300D Turbo, 280k miles, ALDA apparently maxxed, fram 8038, 12 lbs boost, non-egr manifolds, W/M injection, 4 brake light mod, Gen II w126 front rotors/calipers, 4-speed swap
In the works: A/W IC, adjust pump, turbo rebuild (w/60 trim comp wheel)
-1980 300SD, 110k, project car. Goal is to get it lookin' like it did on the showroom floor (body and interior wise, not necessarily under the hood )
-1974 240D, FRESH PAINT!!!!!!

Hey, got a dumb question.

As you can tell, I am learning gauges right now.

Do they sell a gauage that bounces around or goes through a certain number of readings. For example, one gauage which does a "sweep" through a few sensors which would reflect tempertrue X, then Y, and then Z, and back to X, Y, Z ... I am wrapping up my new and improved WVO system, and I want a gauge which monitors 3 temps: The grease right before it hits the lift pump, a temp reading as the WVO sits in my 50 plate HE, and a temp gauage for the coolant right before it enters the HE. I want a 3 gauage pod. I wish I could find the damm picture on this forum or somewhere where someone had one and it looked factory. I want 3 gauages on the A pillar. The 2nd gauage is for the motor oil ... same deal with a sweep of temps for varing sensors. 3rd gauage would be for the coolant. I am on the verge of wrapping up a ton of R&D in my DD. Just need to also pester Led-Panzer about some aluminum work. Between college drama, R&D, wife who has a super long honey do list right now, and the list keeps growing ... poop

I know exactly the gauge pod thread you're talking about, the kid just used a generic pillar pod, hair drier, and fiberglass/bondo to make it work.
