    latest modded 5 part - A pillar pods

    http://www.facebook.com/phoenixautosport
    latest 5 related part to croos our workshop

    the pillars had previously been flocked, unfortunately whoever did them had used something resembling prit stick as an adhesive so a lot of the flock had fallen off and what remained was pretty rough



    pillar now cleaned up and surface keyed





    holes had been made for some alarm sensors



    repaired and sanded



    one of the end tabs had been bent



    plastic warmed gently both sides to de stress the plastic and it moves back to its original position



    next a couple of these gauge pods were chopped up



    to make someting more fitting to the renault pillar





    pods placed on pillar and positions marked





    back of pillar cut out to allow fittment of gauges and for cable runs



    pods bonded in place






    will update as the work progresses

    As above, great finish. I looked for some good quality pods for mine but gave up and fitted a centre mount.

    Can not wait to see them finished

    Could these also be painted instead of flocked?

    Thats ok mate, i already have a double pod that we made by moulding a piece that fits over the top of this panel and attaching it using the two existing screw locations. Yours looks to have improved on this by making it a one piece unit but only if its flocked.
    Top work

    for a single pod fitted and both A pillars flocked you would be looking at £70 or for twin pods fitted and both A pillars flocked £85
    return uk post is about £15 by parcelforce
