the plexi glass i only cut the hole for the pod... with the CD cover tube... i cut the top part off so it made a tube... then i cut the tub on an angle ( had to measure the angle o get it perfectly facing me.. then just taped it up all over inside and out... holds the pod snug and then i cut the metal plates from the gauge on an angle to make sure it was secured...if u need a diagram LMK and ill make u one aen.

see the tube on the upper left.. the clear one.. thats what im talking about... cut the top off... then cut diameter the same size as the gauge... then tape it together to form a tube and microwave it for a minute or 2 or 3 so the plastic melts a little and retains the new tube shape... cut that tube to the desired height and angle u want.. and put that on the flat plexiglass sheet....

yea it was very meguiver of me lol but its a gauge pod on a budget lol...
