Thank you for ordering the ALT-Manufacturing Gauge Pod for the Volkswagen Vanagon. We hope you enjoy the product and continue to support small 3D printing business in the future.
Step 1: Remove the stock Vanagon ash tray by opening and pulling up by holding the inside of the ash tray.
Step 2: Install your 2- 1/16” (52mm) gauges into the pod. These should fit fairly snug to prevent them from turning or rattling around in the van.
- If for some reason you notice they are not snug, we like to add zip-ties to the threads and push the zip-tie as far forward inside the gauge pod as possible. This will also help prevent the gauges from turning or rattling in the gauge pod.
Step 3: The gauge pod clicks in on the early style dashboards and press fits on padded dashboards.
- For early metal dashboards – insert the front of the gauge pod in first and push the back of the gauge pod down to lock it in place.
- For padded dashboards – follow the same procedure. Place the front of the gauge pod in first and then push down on the back to secure it to the dashboard.
Step 4: If you need to remove the gauge pod, you can do so by sliding the gauge pod towards the front of the van (away from you) and lifting or pulling the front of the gauge pod up towards the windshield.
