I got a tripple gauge A pillar pod from autometer, part # 12203, and I just wanted to see how many of you guys out there have one that doesn't fit for crap. The lowest gauge pod on mine is all the way against my dash pad... it's very irritating. I'm tempted to send it back and get a dual and single pod to put together.

Just like some input to see if I'm the only one, thanks.

 

Make sure you got the one for a hardtop if yours is and not the one for a TTop car. I ordered one for a hardtop car and got one for a t-top car and didn't know it until Kandied91Z helped me. It didn't want to slide down the A-Pillar and sit flush at the top. So I ended up having to cut the top off of it. I would of had a ton of pictures but my compter crashed a month or so ago. Let me know if I can help you out.

I have about 1" of clearance between the lower pod and the dashpad using a single and a double. I can assure you that it doesn't look bad if you have to go that route.

I think it would be fairly obvious if you have the hardtop version - it won't wrap around the ttop headliner like the ttop panel does. I hope you'e got the right part and even more I hope the tripple pillar is correctly molded.

Did you get gages for the thing yet? Haha..maybe for Christmas you did!

 

I'm pretty positive I have the right part number for Ttops, and it's just plain that autometer made the gauge pods down too low... if they were all moved up an inch it'd fit awesome, but the lowest pod hits the dash pad. I'm thinking I'm just gonna put it in anyway.

 

i got the triple gage pod for ttop cars and yes it is a very tight fit. its only a pain to get the a piller back in but other then that its all good, i got my a/f gauge, trans temp, & vacume, in the pods.

 

Yeah i got one too,it sits right on the dash pad, i don't mind it though looks fine to me.
in the pic if you look through the steering wheel you can see the bottom pod.

 

Got the triple pod for a t-top car as well. Have not fully installed it yet, but test fitting it before I put the car up for the winter, the bottom pod did rest on the top of the dash pad making for a tight fit.

 

heres 2 pics of my gauge pod

 

heres where it hits the dash

 

Got a question on the piller gauge pod.I have Sunpro 2 inch gauges(style line series).Will these gauges fit in the piller pod ok.

 

dunno, they mightbe alittle lose, since the autometer are 2 1/16 and they fit in the pod nice and snug

 

How snug are they?do they go in real tight.I just dont want to buy the pod and the gauges are to small

 

i was wondering if they fit so close to the dash pad on fbodys too, because i have the tripple for my eclipse and it hits the dash too. Im definatly going with a double after seeing how close that is.

 

the gauges go in real tight and are kinda hard to remove if u dont have a good grip on them.

 

Is it a 1/2/3G eclipse?

 

Mine fits pretty darn good,


When I had the stock dash, the bottom pod dented teh dash pad like the pictures posted above,

 

Its a 2g.

 

I would just do the dual if it's gonna fit like that!

 

Thanks for the heads up man, my friend has a 2G...
