Guage Pod Positioning on an S60 Model..

[Storm-Troll]

Have ordered myself a 52mm Gauge and was wondering before I order a pod etc if anyone has fitted one to the interior of an S60 model as the A Pillar on the S60 is rather wide compared to my old S70R and I doubt it will fit. so thought id get some ideas first before I order a pod either a correct fitting Pillar one or a free standing dash top mount.... any ideas welcome chaps....???

Step 1. Check where the airbags are in the S60!!!

Windscreen pillar is free of airbags on all P2 S60's and V70's I've come across (I'd double check the top corner thought as the roof curtain bag might be quite close) and plenty of room for cabling and hose :)

Easy to take the A-pillar trim off to check! I did on my P2 T4 and was mighty glad I did :D

its ok guys. I have found a better less obtrusive place to fit it.. found an air vent conversion that looks smart and wont ruin the OEM look of the interior....thanks for the advice though... just got to work out how to fit the gauge and hose etc etc when it arrives. but shouldnt be too hard..

I had the in-air-vent mount option on my old T4. I think it looked pretty good, better than having gauges splayed across the dash (as I'd done previously!)
