Bit of a tricky geometry this bracket, but think this is close enough...

Would have liked to retain the little bits of silver trim; I removed one for the wideband that used to be in this gauge pod, and couldn't find the bugger...without the silver bits it's closer to standard 52mm gauge-size, so it's a compromise either way (although these gauges have nothing near the periphery so would have been fine).

(Improperly grounded sensors)

They're about the cheapest gauges going - dragon gauges. They come with sensors and I've got a filter sandwich adapter coming with the requisite 1/8" NPTs.

Gareth, I'll make you a bracket, no problem

I tweaked the bracket to accommodate the silver trim bits that I assume you'll want to retain Gareth. I think it looks loads better with the trim, so now I'm jealous! In the unlikely event someone has a spare silver ring please PM me

Happy to print more, they only take about 2 hours and cost buttons.

Likewise I am planning to put some scan gauges into my VY pod to replace the OEM ones - again any help would be appreciated... Thanks.

VY is difficult - I've got the VZ centre console and gauges in my VY. VY VXR gauges are rarer but would fit...although you would be on your own making aftermarket gauges fit. Might be worth searching ls1gto for how some people make their own, some very tidy looking ones there.

Hang on, your 3d printed the whole pod??!

Nope, it's a VZ pod, I just made a bracket to interface between the two screws that hold in the OE gauge thing (it's all one piece) and standard aftermarket 52mm gauges. The print itself isn't pretty, but it's completely hidden.

e: found my other silver bezel

Nice work Ben.

Do you have the scangauges already? I could do with a side-on picture to check how far the front bit stands proud of the 52mm bit...if you see what I mean! On mine it's 5.5mm, so if it's more than that I need to tweak the geometry.
