Gauge Pod Alert - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

apstguy · 03-17-2004, 07:33 PM

I FINALLY got in contact with Lotek about our gauge pods. I will need someone to donate their pillar so they can use it for molds and color matching. PLEASE I need someone to donate it! I remeber someone saying that they would donate theirs as it is already cracked.

I also need to recompile the list of people who want it.

We will be ordering a 3 spot 2 1/6 size black pillar. They maybe able to color match it.

Quote from their website:
""Attention car clubs and Internet forum groups. We can manufacture custom gauge holders for your vehicle. Prices starting at just $20 for single pods. Full-length pillars as low as $39.

Minimum order quantity is 30 per project. Some models may require a higher minimum. If both double and triple gauge holders are requested, this represents two projects and consequently, requires 30 pre-paid units each. All orders must be paid prior to project start. Pricing will be determined after receipt of OEM part for evaluation. Most of our products range from $40-$60 ea. Shipping charges and color matching is extra.

REQUIREMENTS:

Name, address, and contact information of project leader. Follow-up will be with project leader only. (Please do not have others call for status)

OEM part from project leader. This will be used for fabricating the mold and is non-returnable.

Make, model and year range specifications.

Color samples (at least 4"x4" sample) of all colors to be painted.

Gauge Size requested (usually 2 1/16" and/or 60mm). Note: some models may not accomodate 60mm gauges due to width limitations.

PRODUCTION SCHEDULE:

Rough mock-up will be made and sent to project leader. Project leader test-fits mock-up - checking for clearance problems and angle of gauges. Project leader returns the mockup with any modifications and approves the design.

Mold-making process - approx 4-5 weeks

Initial production run - approx 3-4 weeks

Finishing and shipping - approx 1 week after product availability.

*******IMPORTANT********

PRODUCTION SCHEDULING IS COMPLEX AND DELAYS ARE NOT UNCOMMON DUE TO THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS AHEAD OF YOURS, MATERIAL LEAD-TIME, ETC. WE DO OUR BEST TO PROVIDE A RESONABLE ESTIMATE OF DELIVERY TIMES - HOWEVER, WE CANNOT GAURANTEE A DELIVERY DATE. ""

I would think that they would be glad to donate the first ones since they will sell a ton of them....
