Subject:Re: mounting gauges on the ceiling
From:Jeff Oxroad

I've always wondered if one couldn't get a two or three gauge enclosed VDO
pod from The UK or where ever else they have right hand drive vehicles, and
mount it in front of the rear view mirror.

In theory, since the USA VDO pods angle toward the driver--or left when
mounted on top of the dash, the pods from the UK would angle toward the right when
mounted on top of the dash.

So, when the UK pod is mounted on the ceiling (which is upside down for the
pod) the gauges would angle toward the driver. I too think there is enough room
in front of the mirror.

Although from the website Jake referenced it seems VDO is not making the
enclosed pods anymore--at least in the two or thee gauge configuration.

Sorry, no answers. Just more questions.
