A Pillar Gauge Pod
Still trying to find a gauge pod for some 2 1/16" gages for my gen1. I have an idea for making one on the dash on the passengers side right between the air vents. It wouldn't be hard to make but I would like em on the a pillar. Anybody heard anything or know. Autometer still is not working with me.:confused:
|
if i remember correctly, it's a 95+ Chevy Fullsize truck pod that fits good, with only a bit of heating to shape it.

A-pillar pod
I swapped in Canadian seat belts and used a mid-90's integra pod. Not a perfect fit, but pretty close.

dont know what to tell u bro :(:dunno:
|
I thought maybe autometer would work with us. But they said right now there is not that big of a demand. So we need strength in numbers. Who's all in?:cool:
|
I doubt autometer will ever make one for the first gen pro.
If autometer -actually- makes one, then so be it. If they don't, in a month or two I'll be making either a pod that fits properly, or a new a-pillar with built in pods for gauges (either 2 or 3). Which would you guys prefer? |
Sounds good, keep us posted!
|
Sure. I would be in for a 2 or 3 gauge one. Let me know if you need any help.:blue:
|
also, i beleive a mid 90s Corolla pod will fit as well, along with some heat shaping, but not much at all.
|
What do you have to do for heat shaping? Stick it in the oven for a little while or something?
Daddy's baking an a pillar gauge pod!!!!! :laugh: |
HAHAHAHAHA
- pull the A pillar trim out of the car, once you've marked your pod location. - heat the pod with a heat gun and form it to the A pillar trim slowly, but heat only the pod, not the A pillar trim. - attach pod to A pillar trim and re-install. actually the oven would be ok if you needed the entire peice molded, but you'll probably only have to mold the outer edges only. |
Are you guys still interested in the pods? I know its a bit past the 'month or two' I said... :D but school has to come first...
If anyone is, I can get started on these really quickly once summer holidays start :) (maybe even before then....) That is of course, if no one else has stepped up and made them already. |
I would be interested in a 2 or 3 gauge pillar. Let me know
|
i'm down with a 3 gauge pod or pillar... when i get that turbo engine i want to be able to monitor everything and it's grandma... :smoke: :bt:
|
If only 2 people are interested its not gonna be worth my time.. or it won't be cheap by any means :(
Give it a few more days and see if anyone else speaks up.. |
