Ash tray gauge pod

Im trying to find an ash tray gauge pod for my AEM wideband. So far I cant seem to find one anywhere for sale. I tried to PM EvoDave but he hasnt returned my pm's in quite some time. Does anyone know where I can find one of these for sale? Thanks

I made my own. It was my first time working with fiberglass so I think it came out pretty good. I wish i had more pictures of it but this is all I have since I am at school.

there was also this guy,simons3z.

He did the gauge pods for the ashtray,i have him trying to do one for RHD (been waiting 3+months,still counting) due to his work etc etc....

So you can try your luck if he has some ready-made LHD ones lying around.

Good Luck!

Evodave makes the only one I believe. I bought one from him a few months ago.
Nice piece. Keep trying to contact him!

Yeah, I emailed EvoDave and no response. I know he does headlights and tailights as well and wanted his services, but I get leary when I don't hear back.

I'm going to keep trying to get ahold of him, but if I can't I may try making one. You guys have done a great job fabricating your own, nice job!!!
