You bet!

Count me in. I'm not sure however if 3 pods is the best choice given space constraints. Two may be a better number? I actually posted a thread a week or so ago looking to see if anyone had done...

OK, so if nobody has done this there must be a better solution. Tell me then please where you have mounted any additional guages?
