I am watching this one. How about starting with the pillar pods. Where did you get them? Are they a good fit?

You can get the pillar pods from Autometer, check with the site vendors. The PN for the 2 gauge pod that works with 2 1/6 gauges is 10110. You'll need to use a hairdryer to mold it to the shape of the "A" pillar to make a good fit. Others have epoxied the pillar pod to the "A" pillar.

I'd like to know if we have a plastics forming company that could make us a full lot of three gauge console pods and a full a-pillar replacement pod for three or more gauges. It would be great if this could be accomplished for our group.

merc, shame on you...your check engine light is on and you only have 1/4 tank of fuel... :lol:

I agree with Master's comment about someone making a triple-gauge centre pod. Although the end result looks OK installed, I really had to b!tch up the pod to make the third hole and had to mess with the aluminium bracket that came with the gauge to secure it properly. This mod really stretched my limited fabrication skills. I didn't have fun.

Thank you everyone for your input. as for the fit i have no idea how good it is cause they're not on. We have autometer guage pods and guages. There will be pictures. Thanks Seneca..

P.S. U have Mail MERC.. :D

I did mine a while back. Took me/father about an hour to do the d-Pic and Tranny temp along with the pod install. You have to remove the a-pillar and carefully drill holes into the pillar so you can match the pod up and pop the black little plastic pieces. IIRC order one from Summit since they only charge $20 and some vendors charge $40 for one..
