How will you get the wires down through the drivers side post and out the firewall. I am new at this but I think your pod looks great.

No problem with the wiring, take the cove roff the post there are two bolts holding it on, then work it out of the dash

Ken,



What about the 1/4" cut Genos talk about in the catalog? Any problem with that? Thanks for your help.

I did not make the cut because the overhead computer would cover the top of the gauge from my sitting height, a shorter person might be able to do it. You would have a slight gap under the headliner at the top if you dont cut it

Ken if you could email a copy of the wiring diagram for a C 305 877 trans temp gauge that would be great. Thanks mmarsh

How is it driving at night with those up there? I have some night vision issues and usually wind up turning down the dash lights during long drives, I like the looks of the gauges, but wondered about it blinding you at night, or when you are looking out your rear view mirror.



Did you have to move the mirror, and was the mirror wire long enough, or did you have to run it through the pod housing?



Looks great,

Thanks in advance,

Dave

No problems at night the gauge lighting is fine, the mirror is ok, but for my height it could be lowered a pinch but I have it adjusted so I can use it, the pod fits in there snug you can take about a quarter of an inch off of it if you want it to fit absolutely tight to the headliner, all in all like it!

There is a notch in the pod for the mirror wire

I just installed the windshield pod too. In my readers rigs you can see what it looks like painted.
