Ark Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 How do most people go about getting a Defi gauge to stay in its pod mounting? There are no brackets to bolt it to, and I don't want to use glue...so what does everyone else do? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers My Defi's are just a friction fit in my GReddy pillar pod, they are solidly held and don't move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 So they are just jammed in? How hard did you have to shove them to get them in there? What if they are in fact a little bit loose in the hole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveL Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Use some silicone sealant on the back of the pod... it acts like glue but can be cleaned off easily if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I was installing new gauges last night and wrapped some electrical tape round the pod so as it was a slight struggle to push them in. Now sit very solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes just force fitted, they weren't difficult to fit, they just pushed in and then twisted to line up, job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, that's where I was driving - the tape solution sounds about right, but I think I'll go with masking tape rather than electrical tape, since the glue isn't as fierce. Maybe a small blob of sealant on the back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I was going to do the sealent but was worried about getting them back out again. With the tape you can keep adding or taking away until the fit is right and it wont damage the gauges or pods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Or hot glue behind the gauge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now sit very solid. That's the best way indeed;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
