I have the guage pods... I have the double pod and then a single pod so that my pillar can hold three guages. It actually looks pretty good! All three of the guages are Intellitronix. They are air/fuel ratio, Fuel Pressure, and Nitrous Bottle pressure. They all are dark tinted plexiglass which LED's shine through in red. I like the hidden look. See ya.

I dont think there are any triples...I have looked and never found one. This might be a better perspective from the driver's seat...

I have the Lotek tripple gauge pillar with Autometer Phantom series gauges. Fuel pressure (electric 0-100), oil temperature, and nitrous pressure.

I believe they quit making the 3 gauge pod. For the best answer, you should probably email them.

Yeah, I heard that they discontinued the triple pod I bought one of the first ones they made a few years ago. I was going to buy another for my '88 IROC, but now I'll have to make a mold of mine, unless I like the upcoming Autometer one (hope hope).

I'm planning to get the whole pillar with guages from www.gaugepods.com , then some nice silver face gauges to match the silver face gauges that will be added to the dash later this spring. There was also a place out on the east coast that made the whole pillar with triple pods. But for the life of me, I can't remember their name.

i have all autometer......i'm using the dual and single pillar guages so i can hold all 3. i'm running phantom guages so they will match my white face insturment pannel. i have a/f ratio, electric fuel, and nos press, soon to add a boost pressure as well.

autometer does now make the full 3 pillar guages, unfortunately they sold out rather quickly and autometer is way under production.

for those of you interested, it would be a good idea to talk to autometer direct; as you will get them way before jegs ever will.

i was told the end of january; but that was back in october........they're still telling me they have no idea.

but yet honda civic and mustang pillar's are plentiful.

I have an Autometer Phantom A/F gauge and I too am on the Triple Guage Pod Backorder List.

I am not sure what I am going to stick in the other slots, probably a boost gauge and Fuel pressure.
