Several of us are waiting for a response from flyrx7 in the US, he\'s not producing these at present and isn\'t answering mails anymore :(

There is good demand here for these, a batch of 20 would sell soon enough.

Does anyone have the skill / contacts ??

Please ????

Would making a mould of it cause any damage to the original at all ??
If not then I\'m sure we could get one sorted while poeple have their cars tucked away for winter.....

MAKE WHAT WE WANT GARY !!!

The first person to successfully copy these (tripple 60mm I reckon will be the most popular) will sell a LOAD of them !!

Here here :) or is that Hear hear ;)

It\'ll be expensive cos I\'ll have to get an oil temp gauge to fill the extra hole but them there A-pillar ones are a bit in yer face and block the view somewhat.

Just got back from my guys, and meeting them again tomorrow.
My pods will be ready shortly approx 10 days, there looks likely to be a 3 and a 4 pod holder. They will be made for 52 but for romm to be dremelled out to 60mm so best of all worlds, mix and match openings till ya hearts content.

Excellent....what sort of guarantee would you do, say if I dremelled out to 60mm only to find my gauges were too deep? Would I be able to return it?

Gary, there are pods available for a 52mm gauge already, it\'s the 60mm version for the defi\'s that everyone wants mate.

We\'d like to be able to buy one ready sorted to take the defi\'s, I dont have good dremel skills.

This is my view as well, only need 60mm version, as i have the Defi Guages ready to go in. I would buy a 3 x 60mm

Post by: banned advertiser on March 07, 2007, 04:39:46 PM
Right, uplaoding now is a update to my pod section.
I am now making the rotorpods in 2, 3 and 4 guages, the 3 and 4 gauge will be ready in approx 7-10 days as moulds are being made.
I will only make them in 52mm with room for them to be made in to 60mm as it is too costly to make 4 moulds 52 & 60mm. Dremelling out is childs play and does not have to be the neatest job as your gauge edge will cover the dremelling out. It will also give you guys the choice as to what size gauge you use and some of you can mix sizes without problem ie 1x52mm and 2x 60mm etc.
Piccys will follow as and when 1st one is out of the mould.

Post by: banned advertiser on March 07, 2007, 05:02:27 PM
If everyone want the round ones, I will need a model, and will get them made as well, who wants what shape.
I will start a new thread and a poll on the shapes.

Post by: CraigN on March 07, 2007, 05:05:31 PM
i have said before i currently have a 3x52mm pod that i am willing to donate to create a mould from i know Sicknote has a 3x60mm one but doubt he would want to give it up to be copied i dont know.

I will wait and see what the rotor ones look like when installed and make my mind up then i think.

I have had these defi gauges sat in my garage now for over a year and still cant fit them to my car so if this is all i can get this is what i will have to plump for.

Oh good god.....I thought we finally had an answer to our problems.

Gary, we want ROUND ones becuase they look OEM.

With all due respect the rotor ones are simply aweful.

Glad to see you\'re still onboard though, I\'ve voted in the poll.....

No offence but we\'re not RX8 owners with rotor motifs everywhere ;)
