3DPrintedCarPartDescription
Two 52mm gauge pod mounts I made for my 98 Jetta TDI. Sorry for the bad photo, I'll take another in daylight. (gauge backlights are being changed out for green to match the dash) One goes where the heated seat buttons would go but you must cut away behind it to make it fit. Then just insert the top of the pod first and push in the bottom dimple side and it fits nice and tight. The other one is in place of the left center vent. I don't use the face vents so I didn't care if it got blocked some. It's not perfect but close enough for me. It doesn't swivel, it's pretty tight. Behind this where the vent insert meets the dash vent tunnel is where I routed my wires through. Just pushed up where they meet and fed my wires through. I printed both of these in PETG, PLA might work for a while but tends to deform in the summer plus it's in the dash which gets warm.
