A THREE gauge center gauge pod. I think there are few of us who really need that cigarette lighter. Alot of us would like to mount the boost gauge :up: in that location (or your gauge of choice). Of course, we would have the option of re-arranging the gauges to our personal liking.

I hate to over smiplify this, but it looks like you could just mirror image the left side of the current one, and its just plastic, correct? I'd really like the item to look factory (color and texture)...

I see avatars of some members who have already done this (I assume custom). Pictures and details of how you did this?

Just out of curiosity, how many would be interested in an item like this?

Me. I like the pillar pods look but I can hardley see around the damn pillar now, adding more to it has to make a huge blind spot.

Haven't done it, however, there are several members here that have a 3-guage pod.

How-to ... remove the cigarette lighter assembly.
drill an opening to house the extra guage in the space vacated by the cigarette lighter assembly.
drill and opening in the side of the pod to accept the cigarette lighter assembly. *LH side for ease of driver access.
(if necessary) re-finish the guage pod with interior flexible coating spray.
install extra guage. *May need a guage angle ring.
install cigarette lighter assembly.

I guess my missing piece is the gauge angle ring. Does Autometer sell these, I have never seen one listed?

Yes you can buy the angle rings.

Also when you add the third gauge you can still keep your lighter! It gets moved to the right side of the pod.

Negative bubs. You can drive mine next month. The pod doesn't create a blind spot.

Maybe you have tiny eyes.

I prefer the A-pillar pods, you don't have to take your eyes off the road to see them. My truck has boost and EGT on my A-pillar.

I may have an extra one around here some where, after I installed a Trans temp down there......

You still want one? If so, I'll look for it...
