Anyone installed any, and if so what pods/locations did you use/put them in?

[subseamac]

eliseparts.com central vertical S1 pod does the job

[markv]

Yup, got an oil temperature and pressure gauge. Redid the dashboard:

Moved the starter button near the gearstick, works like a charm:



It is looking a bit different at the moment, but haven't had time to put it up on the web yet.

Scotsdave - looks good How does it mount under the dash? Self tapping screws? Adhesive??

Exactly how Lotus would have done it.... Double sided sticky tape. Hasn't moved once and they've been installed a few months now.

I've got the same but with velcro at the top for easy removal.

[Mr_M]

Thanks both I've been increasingly feeling the need for a couple of worry guages!

Trouble is that the underdash location is way out of the line of sight. Top of the dash is the only place to guarantee you see any warning lights or readings when the come up. Courtenay suggested the best place is in the centre of the dash wedged back under the windscreen. Of course I ignored their advice. Doh!!

Exactly where I have got my scanguage II, I actually use it for speed, RPM, air intake and coolant temp, I never look at the stack any more!

I'm fairly certain I tried to phone and also email vanaaken without any response. I'll not bother again for now.
I've got the Shift-i light which seems to work well. It's important to configure it so it only starts to work at a suitably high rev point - mine starts at 5500 - as it would drive me mad if it was coming on all the time.

Where did you mount the shift light?, does it look ok? any pics?
