Audi B3 80 90 Coupe Gauge Pod Steering Column cover 893953515C

thingiverse

UNTESTED This is a 52mm dual gauge pod for B3 Audi, using the steering column top cover. Design is based on the cover that came on my 1990 Audi Coupe Quattro There is one version for the OEM wheel and one version you can use if you have an aftermarket steering wheel hub. I have also included the bare replica of the steering column top cover. Part number 893953515C When I make this I will update for any changes. NOTES: Edges are rough and will need to be smoothed out. I left the screw holes un-drilled to allow some flexibility in final install. You will need to drill them yourself with a 1/8" bit. UPDATE 11/22/2020: The front hole for the steering column was about 5mm too shallow so I enlarged it so it would fit. I also smoothed the front two vertical edges. If you downloaded the original files (kept in place for reference) you should download the updated ones. UPDATE 11/27/2020; I made a test print and found that the pods were too thin at the top for the printer to complete - See pic. (I probably misaligned the concentric cylinders when making it, but you can't see it on the 3D model). The good news is that I was able to make final slight adjustments so that the alignments are pretty good. These files are UPDATE 2. I also added pictures of it installed. Plenty of space for a standard sized gauge. The front panel is rough because of how I oriented it for the print, and where my supports were placed. I plan to fill with body filler and sand/paint. UPDATE 12/3/2020: I verified the correction of the defect by printing a thin cross section of the UPDATE 2 version. I have now deleted the original ones as they should not be used.
