I have always been a big fan of the SVT pod gauges that are mounted in the dash where a non-SVT Focus has the useless coin holder.

How do I get one of these to go into my ZX3? How difficult is it to get the guages installed and working?

I don't know any standard focus that actually go these working in their car, most just make their own fiberglass gauge pod for (2 1/16" gauges) or buy one.
eg:

I'd suggest making one or getting on made like Flo or hardk0re's, it will look pretty good when your all finished and have an accurate reading on the gauges.

I'm not overly concerned about the accurancy of the gauges.
No one has mentioned being able to buy the SVT gauge surround, is it not available? If so what is the part number?
I like to more for the looks.
If someone has a moded one for sale I would be interested.
I must say though, GREAT job on fabricating these, they do look amazing.

You could try focus salvage. They might have that part. The only prob is that they're in the states, so it might cost ya a lil for shipping, but if you want authentic SVT gauges they'll prolly be the place to get them for a good price.

Oh Im sure you can get them through campell ford or another svt dealer, its getting the gaugues to work that could be a problem.
I fyou want...take off your current one, you dont really need it to drive anyways and I can make you one for cheap. ;) Probably take me a week-end to do.

That one wouldn't do much good unless you're driving a RHD Focus.. It would be a ST170 part (Europe's version of the SVT) but you can see it's reversed.
You can buy all the parts, but it's possible that it wouldn't work without the SVT gauge cluster and/or SVT computer. You're probably better off talking one of the guys on the board into making a gauge pod for your cluster bezel.. it doesn't have the clean "behind the glass" look of the SVT but it would probably work a lot better and be a ton cheaper. And that way you can put whatever gauge(s) you choose in the spot.
