Update!:
Talked with Josh over the phone today. We definitely got some ideas and this looks like it will move forward for review within CP-e. It looks like after some pending products (which I can't mention) that this will be up for discussion for a spring-summer '10 design. He asked me to provide some sketches and ideas for where the mount would go. Also, to gain more leverage, the possibility of a single gauge pod in the same area would help us (similar to Ben's pod). Another point of interest is that the cost will most likely (strictly an estimate, based on similar material costs, mold, etc.) would be on par with the 3/MS3 pod.
I'm going to put together a folder with some pictures of the single gauge pod and the location, as well as any sketches of what the product may look like for him, so that they can use the info to review when the time comes to make a decision.
Also, if this does get the green light, we will more than likely do some sort of deposit on the tooling to guarantee that the interest is still there.
Stay tuned, I doubt we'll hear anything back until after the new year, but things are looking promising.
