    single and triple gauge holders - potential GB

    As part of the never-ending VDO boost gauge group buy (we are now on the 3rd GB), I was asked by a couple of folks about Gerd's gauge holders (Sorry CliveH )

    blende8[1].jpg

    see more pictures here

    Gerd offers both a single holder and a triple holder, both for €50. The reason they are the same price is that they both replace all three vents and are therefore the same size, however the single holder has vertical slots rather than gauge holes in the 2 outer positions and a single hole in the central position.

    As you can see from the picture 2nd from right in the link above, the holders comprise 2 pieces of aluminium, one being the holder and one being a face plate. The face plate is painted black, although the one I have seen was plain ally, so I will need to confirm what we will get

    If anyone is interested in either a single or triple gauge holder, then please PM me, as I will add them to the 3rd boost gauge GB.

    Cheers n

    do you lose all ventilation from that centre vent if you do the conversion?

        No, all three vents still allow air to pass through, albeit at a reduced volume. When using the centre only version, the 2 outer sections allow considerably more air through, although probably still a little less than a normal vent.

        The main difference is of course that whilst you can keep the air flow, you loose the ability to direct the air flow.

            Mmm tempting

            Although I've bought 2 holders from Clive's group buy, I like this option too.

            I'll have to think about it.

              Put me down for one of these (3 hole version)

              I'll have it as well as the CliveH pods I've ordered. That way I can decide which I want.

                  Okie, so far we have Briggsy, S2Avant & baltiboyS2 for 3 gauge holders.

                  s2driveruk & john881000, are you guys after one or not? If so a single or triple?

                  Anyone else who wants one please shout now, as this will only be a short GB run in conjunction with the VDO boosg Gauge GB.

                  Cheers n

                          Is it too late to count me in for a 3 gauge holder Si?

                          Yes, I know I got one of the vent pods and currently running another GP but I'm now thinking of relocating some of the other gauges...

                            Not too late Clive and Andy, welcome aboard, I've been busy so only just emailed Gerd for a shipping total.

                            Looking like a total price including shipping to you of about £38 with the current exchange rate, but I will confirm this with payment details when Gerd gives me a final price.
