A-pillar gauge pods/holders
« on: 17 July 2012, 22:20 »
Just throwing this out there, but would there be any interest in RHD MK2 A-pillar gauge pod/holders lovingly hand-crafted to recreate the OE trim texture? There is a guy that makes them in the US so all his stuff is LHD but he's willing to run off a batch of RHD trims if he gets enough orders to cover his costs, that magical number being ten+

Here is a picture of his work:




and you can read more on his website: www.vwcraft.com

The price for one trim is £62 posted within the UK, each one is hand made to order.

Just for reference, the SWG vent gauge holder costs £41.04.

In case it isn't clear, this is for an entire replica A-pillar trim, down to the texture, with 2 integral gauge pods, reusing the original screw holes for the ultimate OEM look. I personally would prefer it with just one gauge holder and he's willing to be flexible but that comes down to majority preference.

There's currently three takers for single-pods, and nine for twin. Please state your interest, if any, and preference for one or two pods.

Thanks

Update already - Now have 10 for the double gauge.

Definite price, £62 posted to your door. Still need more interest on single pods to run off a batch of those so please try and drum up some more interest.

For those who want to order the 2 gauge pod, Jake will be putting up a page in the next day for you to place your orders and pay a deposit. I believe he is expecting at least ten orders (deposits) before he begins work on making the pattern. As you will know from his website, making the trims can take up to two weeks so please factor in the additional time for making the pattern and cross-Atlantic shipping.

Link to come in due course.
