Great, I love my current one. Hmmm, maybe I won't add oil pressure to my Good Box and I will put fuel pressure and oil pressure in this

The reason i'm making this is because there are a lot of folks from this forum emailing me requesting it....
it costs me a lot of time and labor and that the reason why i stop making the single for the 8

Hope you guys enjoy it while it last

Ben,

I'll be E-mailing you, but you got a pic of the back side?

Does the top pod have a passthrough for wires into the bottom one and then out the bottom one as before?

I've got two PLX device OLED display gauges I might just use here and I've been waiting for the double pod.

You going to do both 60mm and 52mm?


Current setup looks like this, and I would replace that oil temp gauge with another PLX(like on the left) to have two of these. I'd run oil temp and oil pressure to the second one!

great work. the single is fantastic and this appears to be as well.

there are now 3 nice pod options for LHD:
your original single pod(no longer availible)
your new double pod
the molded LoTek pods from the group buy here(no longer availible)
