I just got my new gauges installed, i think they look great. Here are some pics. The first picture has a little bit of a glare on the A/F gagues but you get the idea. Here the first:

 

Heres the second, overlook the mess, the tranny is actually out on it right now so it hasnt had a good cleaning, plus i havent got all the wires for the gauge install cleaned up yet. and as you can probly see im having problems with my ECM.

 

Those look really good!!!! I did the same thing about 2-3 mths ago. I got the full pillar gauge pod ( the one you can put 3 gauges in ) and was a definate + in my book!

 

straighten out your bottom guage...it's crooked.



other then that, looks good.

 

Is that a complete replacement A pillar, or one of the "set on top of the current A pillar" installations?

 

AutoMeter makes the "set on top of the current A-pillar" pods.

 

Ya, those look tuff. Nice job!

 

Looks good, but does anybody make a "full pillar" or is this the only option?

 

I tried a full pillar (AutoMeter makes them), but the bottom pod interfered with the dash for some reason. So, I went with the smaller bolt on pod.

I used some 4-40 button head socket cap screws to fasten it to the existing pillar cover instead of those plastic push button things that came with the pod. Looks very nice, IMO.

 

Are you talking about the 3 gauge pillar? Because that still just bolts over the old one, it does not entirely replace it (on the t-top cars anyway). My bottom gauge rests on the dash, no big deal. I did have to do some slight cutting to get it to fit right though.

 

Thanks for the compliments! Yeah it is one that you just put over your existing a pillar. I was gonna buy the full replacement pod but i couldnt due to my budget, i got a baby on the way so i cant be spending too much money on it.

 

i started with a single and then put a dual on it when i decided to move the others there...

 

JEG'S sells single, dual, and triple guage pod's

SINGLE - part#105-10201 for $21.99

TRIPLE - part#105-12203 for $59.99

JEG'S 1-800-345-4545

 

Are these full pillar replacements, or bolt on pods?

 

I have the dual pod myself,
I have one question...Am I the only person who hits my head on that damn thing every time i work on my interior?hehe

I can tell from the picture in the catalog that the single is just a bolt on pod. I'm not 100% sure on the other 2, ask -ZERO-, that is where he got his triple pod from.

 

looks good

 

what size gauges are those made for? 2" or 2 1/2 ?

 

the one's I listed are for 2 1/16, which they have a wide variety to choose from. call that # I listed and get a JEG's catalog. They are free and provide hours of entertainment. lol

 

NO! Your not the only one! that crap hurts!

 

unfortunately its not a direct replacement for the a-pillar on the t-top car. But if you do it right , no one would know unless they really really look.
How i did mine was i cut up part of the existing a-pillar and i used epoxy to glue the new 3 gauge pod to it. Ill get a pic up today if i get a chance. and ill show you what im talking about. the reason i did mine this way was cause i did not like the look of little screws holding it on. i like the clean look

 

No, I'm talking about a two-gauge pillar. I didn't want the bottom pod resting directly on the dash (I have a dash board cover).

With the 2-gauge bolt on pod, I had to cut away most of the existing pillar cover for the backs of the gauges.
