Gauge Mounts

Been searching for hours and I found two gauge mounts that I like. However I dont know where to buy them.

One is the one that sits in between the steering column and the gauge clusters. Someone told me its called "Mouse-ear" gauges.

The second one sits on the outside of the top part of the gauge clusters. I wish I can find the pics I seen them but I cannot find them anymore.


If anyone own one that knows where to get them let me know or if your looking to part with it I am willing to buy them.

There is also this: http://www.racingbeat.com/FRmazda4.htm

you can buy just the panel and fill it with the gauges you want : https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-interior-audio-electronics-24/diy-rb-gauge-pod-nordskog-digital-gauges-133938/

Search for gauge pods instead of gauge mounts.

Thanks guys but the one I was thinking is something similar to this. But I am not sure if this fits in our 8.

Laythor: that is a SEXY looking gauge setup you linked!

Jungle: as far as I know, there is no Knight sport or FEED pod holder for Left hand drive.
Your only viable options are: Racing Beat, Lotek (discontinued but some floating around), or an A-Pillar pod.
