I am posting this in here as i hope it will get more exposure that in the RX8 specific area and though my question is for my RX8 I am sure the answer is applicalbe to Gauge pods for any modle Rotary


I have a question that i hope some of your mod gods may be able to help me with.
    After fitting my Gauges in the cups that came with them temporary  (just incase my gauge pod did not arrive in time for Friday. The parts i  have been waiting for from RHD Japan finally arrived today
    1 RE-Amemiya Tripple Gauge pod and 1 Greddy Water Temp Sensor Adaptor.
    The adaptor 38mm fits fine in the hoses however upon trying the  Gauges in the RE-Amemiya Pod it appears that they fit nicely however i  have no way of securing them in to the pod.

    How do most people do this?

    Have been considering a high adhesive tape and simply tape them in at the rear but other that that i have no real ideas.

    Please help guys and gals

I found that my gauges were always a snug fit. Squeeze them into the pod and they\'re stuck.

wrap elec tape around the shaft of the gauge where the gauge contacts the pod and wedge it in :)
