Gauge Pods

[ntd]

I've been looking at the autometer gauge pods and I hate how they look stuck on. I was thinking about getting the a universal pod and plastic welding it, but that's alot of work. On my search for pods I found this website that will do custom full pillars not stickons. Would need 20 people cost is $40-$60 and a pillar to send them so they could make a mold. anyone interested?

[TAKEDOWN]

I'm interested!

[offroadkarter]

I love how if you click the turbo boost guage, they have a sound clip of a kenne bell cobra doing a fly by


LOL

[ntd]

only 18 more

1-ntd
2-takedown

[centexmarauder]

put me down for the other 18. ill just sell them at shows.

[Embassy]

I'm planning on going to a dual pod pillar and would like a more professional appearing piece.



In what color will these be molded? Black or in OEM colors?

Put me down for a dual pod.

[O's Fan Rich]

Single, Twin or triple pods?

[Pops]

Single, Twin or triple pods?

My thoughts also. A single does me no good. Need a double!

[fastblackmerc]

I'm in for a double.

2-gauge pod that is.

[ntd]

I was thinking about 3 pods but if everone wants 2. let me know what you want as a group we will have to pick 2 or 3 pods. I'll get in touch with them anyone have a spare pillar they want to donate?

I have a spare drivers side "A" pillar AND the company just happens to be about 10 -15 miles away. Let me know who your contact is and I can drop off my pillar.

I'd go with 3-pods. They have a nice cover for the unused pods.

[John Nero]

i want a triple

[TAKEDOWN]

A triple for me, Sir!

[ntd]

I think a 3 pod would be best so far I have

[Spectragod]

You can put me down for a pair of 3 pods and 1, 2 pod.

[2,4shofast]

I would be interested in either a two or three pod, what ever ends up being produced.

[TAKEDOWN]

Do we know price wise what it may cost us?

[Donny Carlson]

These look like good quality pods. What I did back in the day was use a single and double Autometer pod for the Marauder, then had an auto trim shop wrap it in Ford material to match the leather seats:

Here's what was in before this, an Autometer dual painted to match the interior:

Be sure to post up pics when you get them intalled!

[1stMerc]

Shoot, i just bought and installed a single.

[SVT_MERC]

Count me in. Double or triple pod doesn't matter as long as I get one of those covers for an unused gauge to hold me off until I get a wideband.

[ntd]

They just gave me a general price of $40-$60, fastblackmerc will be calling and possible dropping off his spare pillar. Then they will contact me and let me know estimate price and delivery date of the prototype part. I will keep everone updated. Below is updated list

[Joe Walsh]

Looks like a good project!
I have a twin pod right now, but I would definitely be interested in a triple gauge pod.

[ntd]

Just wanted to make sure everone understands you will not need to supply any parts. fastblackmerc will drop of his spare pillar and low-tek is going to make a pillar with 3 guage pods. From that they will make a mold then sell us a new pillar with 3 guage pods. Anyone interested will just have to buy the pillar from low-tek.

[ddogg626]

I'm in. I would like to order one of them please.

[O's Fan Rich]

Make sure we know when and where to pay up!

I appreciate the efforts being made here.

[ntd]

I'll let everone in on the info as I get it. I would like to thank fastblackmerc for supplying the pillar for the mold if he's is ever in michigan
drinks are on me. :beer:

[Glenn]

I'll take a triple.

Thanks for the effort,

I also reached out to him and offered my help and spare parts to fix his car. Guess that was just a cover story instead of saying sorry man I changed my mind:bs:

I will be calling Lotek to place the order and start production on the prototype pillar anyone else that is interested just send me a pm I will send you my contact and payment info

[cougar9150]

I have to check with the accountant aka the wife but I want a triple in charcoal. I have been doing a lot to the MM lately and not sure if there is a budget for things I want vs things it needs to be reliable. Maybe an early Christmas present from me to me.

Will they still be offering this complete pillar after the group buy? I'm sure it would be more but if I can't do it now I would like to be able to later. I will also check w/David and see if he would be interested also. I'll shoot you a PM once I talk to the wifey.

[Joe Walsh]

:bump:

Any progress/update on the 'A' pillar gauge pods?

[ntd]

Sorry for the slow progress but I just sent in the orders and I will call them Monday and and pay for it all

[ntd]

Called and payed for the pillars today so they are going to start the prototype tomorrow so fastblackmerc they are going to call you when there ready for a test fit (about a week) hopefully you can get some pics.. To anyone thats thats on the fence jump on this because after this the price is going to go up. cougar9150 any luck submitting the expense request to the accountant:rolleyes:.

[NATEHAWK]

Are there only going to be 2 or three pods pillars made or can i get a one pod made?

[Joe Walsh]

My understanding was that they are only going to make an 'A' pillar with triple gauge pods

[NATEHAWK]

That sucks. I don't wanna have a **** pit in my car LOL

[justbob]

I can't see why they wouldn't continue to make these with all the CV's and GM's out there.

[ntd]

They are going to only make a 3 gauge A pillar at this time and they are going to continue to make these after this but they will be a little more

[O's Fan Rich]

That sucks. I don't wanna have a **** pit in my car LOL

Bah! Who cares what you want? Buy a single pod from Autometer and move on......

Don't mess up our WAY TOO COOL FOR YOU 3 pod pillars!!!!

They were making changes to the prototype pillar after the test fit. So I'm expecting to hear from Lowtek or fastblackmerc soon about the second test fitting

I reckon I need to get another gauge...

Fixin' to swap some gauges around too. The sending unit for my oil pressure gauge is getting flakey again, so I'm gonna change to a mechanical. I also want to add an oil temperature gauge. The mechanical oil pressure gauge is only available in full sweep so it will match the fuel pressure and boost gauges on the A-pillar. The oil temperature gauge is available in 90 degree sweep so it can go in the OEM pod and match the volts and trans temperature gauges. Still leaves me with the uninstalled column pod...

for the mechanical oil pressure gauge don't you have to run an oil line inside the car. I don't know how much I would trust that

[fastblackmerc]

for the mechanical oil pressure gauge don't you have to run an oil line inside the car. I don't know how much I would trust that

You can get a stainless steel braided line for the mechanical oil pressure gauges.

[FordNut]

for the mechanical oil pressure gauge don't you have to run an oil line inside the car. I don't know how much I would trust that

I've changed the sending unit at least 6 times on the electrical one. I'm tired of that, it's a PITA to get to on my car due to the CVPI oil cooler adapter. Jack (marauderjack) has been running a mechanical gauge for years with no problems. I may upgrade the hose from the nylon hose that comes with the gauge to something more secure.

Just got an email from lotek I asked if production would be done
by the end of December.

It’s possible but we can’t say for sure. The prototype for the mold is still being worked then we need to create the actual production mold. So it will most likely be later in January that we will have product.

I sent them an email this morning about the eta no response yet.

As soon as I get a response from them I'll fill everyone in, I really hope I will not have to pull the plug on this:mad2:. Thanks everyone for your patience

[ntd]

Here is the latest and greatest on the ETA

Nick:

We are running a little long with the mold but I was told it will be finished by this Friday. Once it is done we will send it to vacuum form the parts. If all goes well we will have product at the end of February.

Any more updates?

My brother called me last night to ask about the pod I had ordered for him (I ordered 2 pods) and said: "WTF?"

[ntd]

I apologize for the delay I've been on them pretty hard about how late they are from the original ETA. fastblackmerc and I are working on getting the color samples to them. got this from Lotek today so almost ready


Our first mold was not satisfactory so they are pouring a new one and it should be done any day now. Once I have it it will be sent to get the initial presses done. So, once I send it, it should be just about two weeks.

Best regards,
Dennis
Lo-Tek, Inc.

[TAKEDOWN]

Thanks for looking out... Stay on em, ride em'!

[ntd]

Update

The final product is back and the production mold is being made. So mass production is about ready to start. Fastblackmerc is trying to find time to make it up to the shop he has two trim items one of each color so Lowtek can match them up. As soon as I get a ship date I will let everyone know. I would really like to thank everyone for being patience and understanding. I have been on these guy like a Pit bull about how behind schedule they are.

[FordNut]

No problem, it delays me having to spend money for another gauge.

Product is at the vacuum formers and things seem to be moving along well. Next week Lotek should have the molds and start production should take @ 2-3 days to make all the pillars and paint then they can start shipping them out. Again thank you to everyone for helping to make this happen:beer:

Nick:

I called our vacuum forming company today. They were able to press 25 units and said the presses are shipping today. We will have them by Thursday. It will take a few days to cut them out and paint them. Jim says he can bring up a color sample. So we can have our paint supplier do a color match. They will start shipping by early next week. I expect no other delays..

We did not bill your credit card prior to making the mold because of the delays. We will bill your card prior to shipping for the amount, as specified previously, based on the list you gave us.

Best regards,
Dennis
Lo-Tek, Inc.

[2,4shofast]

Getting closer:beer: Thanks for the update!

[fastblackmerc]

FYI...

I talked to Dennis at Lo-Tek and I'll be dropping off the light flint pillar cover in the next couple of days for the color match.

[bawazir]

I really need to see some pics, any of you guys have any kind pic of what it might look like? i really would like to order one but i need to see how they look like first :(

:dunno: It looks like a pillar cover with 3 gauge pods on it.

[ntd]

bawazir,
Your going to have to use your imagination a little, just like fastblackmerc said,( a pillar with 3 holes):P. Here is a pic of one they make for and F250. It will have OEM like texture and OEM color. Given the only other comparable item that is from Autometer you have to glue or rivet to you factory trim. Ask SVT Merc about his experience with the Autometer unit. I think this is a better option

Not that I really wanted to be an example..... but yeah, as strong as 3M double sided tape is, apparently it won't hold a gauge pod in place long enough to hold out for these to be made. The Autometer ones MUST be secured to your existing OEM A-pillar in a way that if you want to remove them at a later date you will have holes in your A-pillar. Trying to avoid this cost me my car...... a lesson WELL LEARNED! :censor::censor::censor:

I'm really excited about how well they turned out. All pics are in black that is how Lowtek gets them back from the vacuum former then they will paint them to match our Dark Charcoal or Light Flint color

[NATEHAWK]

Looks real well. Can't wait to get mine so I can get this gauge off my steering column

[fastblackmerc]

They are very nice. A really good fit. Will be secured with one screw at the top. As soon as they are painted I'll install mine with some gauges and take some pics.

[Joe Walsh]

I have a tranny temp , an A/F and one I haven't decided on.........

I've got Oil Pressure and Oil Temperature in my dual gauge A-pillar pod right now...I guess I'll have to add another gauge.
If I was S/C.....:o......I'd add a switchable IN/OUT Intercooler Temperature gauge.
:hmmm:....Maybe I'll put in a wide band A/F gauge for now.

The triple gauge pods look great! I can't wait to see them in person.

[ntd]

I'm thinking Boost/Vac, A/F Ratio & Fuel pressure

[ImpalaSlayer]

:woohoo:

Nick is the man.

thanks again bro.

i have 3 gauges already sitting here waiting.

[LeoVampire]

Should be a nice set up for the guys who need it!

Already have two of them. Fuel pressure and boost/vacuum. Going to add oil pressure up there to go along with the oil pressure warning LED. The oil pressure gauge in the OEM location is going to be replaced with an oil temperature gauge.

[FordNut]

I guess they use a single screw instead of just snapping in place like the OEM.

[LANDY]

they look factory, if i liked the showing what i got i would go for them.

[John Nero]

well i installed it today and it fits and looks great - two little problems - the screw they give you will not work - it needs to be longer and the corner where the dash and windshield meet needs to built up - when you take off your old one you will see a piece of foam on the bottom - you need more than that to build it up to set level to dash

That is correct, remove the original and replace with this one. One screw holds it in so you will have to drill a hole.

I just picked up my pillar pod at Lo-Tek today. It looks GREAT! Thanks ntd!!

Talking to Dennis @ Lo-tek, these pillar pod assemblies are actually made to go over the OEM pillar cover (I said the exact opposite in a previous post.... forgive me:bows:). Believe it or not the OEM pillar cover is actually a safety feature and the pillar pod is made to go on top of the OEM cover. Of course you can do it anyway you want but Lo-Tek has to sell them as a cover with the small screw so they don't get in trouble with the Feds :eek:

BTW, Lo-tek can make anything that can be vacuum formed.... I thinking center gauge pod, overhead console (short and long), center console, door sill covers. What Lo-Tek will need is the part, which will get destroyed in the process and enough orders to make it "worth their while" to make.

I removed the OEM pillar cover.

Let me try to be clearer....

Lo-Tek sells these as a cover, to go over the OEM pillar cover to satisfy the Feds. It will work either as a cover over the OEM pillar cover or a a replacement on the OEM cover. Once it's in your hot little hands you can do as you wish.
