Sparkystav I think the red thin ones to the side are TOMS ones,cause i dont think the cusco ones have the "X" piece

You maybe right mate. from the colour it seems to be Tom's braces

Surprised your having so many problems with them mate, anyone that's seen my car will know how low it is and mine scrape sometimes but haven't caused me any other problems.

Started my gauge pod adjustment as well the past couple of days:

this is what it was:

But i have at least a couple of new gauges now so need some more space.

Started with this pod:

trimmed the edges off it and gave the bottom a slight curve.
Then taped it to the old holder and siliconed the inside edges to hold it in place.
Once that dried i filled around the edges roughly and now its down to sanding it back and then refilling till its nice and smooth.

Filled VERY roughly:
