Alternatives to Navpod

I am replacing all my B&G electronics, which have given me 11 years of more or less decent service. Except for the H5000 and some of the transducers.

At the helm, I presently have a Zeus T8 in a pod mounted in the helm rails. It's a bent pod which allows the mounting of the pilot keypad, Triton, and FLS panel. It nestles between the rails and so is only an inch thick or so above the rails themselves; the depth is accommodated between the rails. I'm afraid it's too shallow to fit the Zeus 3S 9 which will replace the T8.

Scanstrut make a Navpod to fit, but the whole depth of the pod is in FRONT of the rails, making it massively thick.

What other pods are available? Anyone have any tips?
