Topic: 2 inch gauge map pocket adapter. Any interest?

[78ta]

Hey guys and gals,

I build the map pocket stereo adapters and was wondering if there was any interest in a map pocket adapter that housed three 2 1/16" gauges?

They would likely be priced similar to the stereo adapters at about $49.95 with FREE shipping inside the continental US. They would mount the same way as the factory map pocket does just like the stereo adapters I currently offer.

The face of the adapter would be the same textured black plastic as the stereo adapters have but I am also looking into the possibility of applying the engine turn applique if requested in order to match the dash and shifter bezel on some cars.

If you would be interested in a product like this or just have a comment, please reply directly to this post or email questions to w70442@hotmail.com.

Thank you,
Randy

Would the cost be similar? Just a thought people might want to know! I thought of aftermarket gauges, but would have to use an air vent for the extra gauge, and really did not want to do that! Do you have a prototype or model of what it would look like?

I think Fbodywarehouse already makes some sort of adapter to fit there now.  I know he was working on one for a while.

Hey Pete,
I know we thought there might be a market for them. I just thought I'd post up and see what kind of response there was. I do appreciate your offer to carry them and will let you know when they are ready as I do plan on building them either way.

Yes, the price will be within a few dollars of the stereo adapters if not the same price of $49.95 with free shipping inside the cont US.

I do have a mock up and will post some pics of it Tuesday.

Hi Guys,

Here are a couple pics of the mock up. I used the main body of a stereo adapter for the main body here so the width was limited to the width of a DIN stereo 7 3/16". There is more room available in the map pocket opening so on the finished product, the spacing will be more spread out across the face. There will be about 1/8" more space between the center gauge and each outer gauge which will move the outer gauges 1/8" closer to each side of the face for a more balanced look overall. They look a little squeezed in here, to me anyway.

Feel free to send any questions to w70442@hotmail.com
