Preludedude Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I know this has been done to death, but I got this all installed yesterday...... I got this alum panel and gauge pod from MotoCam... CONS: Had to sand the alum panel in both openings to get the radio cage and the HVAC panel to fit...I used a straight file to file it down..The gauge pod didnt fit at all, and I had to sand the edges because it was too wide, and it still needs more sanding..I will be taking it back out to make it fit better. You can see it bulging in the middle...And the 52mm holes needed to be sanded to make bigger also. I have 2 1/16" guages which is 2.0625" which is exactly 52.39mm...so I guess that .39mm made a difference... I didnt move the brain box, as I just unbolted it and pushed it up and back to make way for the gauges. I extended the harness on the HVAC which took forever, but was worth it. The HVAC squeezed in tight and I didnt need silicon or glue to keep it in place. It isnt moving at all. The radio cage was so tight it bulged and flexed but I made it fit. http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd461/Preludedude1/IMG_3806.jpghttp://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd461/Preludedude1/IMG_3807.jpghttp://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd461/Preludedude1/IMG_3843.jpghttp://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd461/Preludedude1/IMG_3844.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoCam360 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) As my pm mentioned - normally we flat file the edges for the HVAC head unit because the waterjet cutting process leaves approx. .002-.003" tapered edge. Once the sidewalls are trued up, the HVAC head unit fits in snug!! I put a dab of silicon above and below to account for road vibration...fyi As for the radio cage, I think each mfg is going to be a few thousands different. Now you should paint the panel black and it will look better than factory. Edited June 1, 2015 by MotoCam360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evoz17 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I had the same trouble with the hvac gauge panel. My 2 1/16 gauges did not fit but a round file did the trick. Overall happy with the panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
