Gauge Pods A-pillar 87 T-Top

Been trying to find a 2 gauge pod for the 2 1/6 gauges for
my 87 Iroc T-top. Don't want the full lenght 3 pod setup
thier showing.

Thier showing a 2 pod partial panel for the hardtops.
Whats the difference between the hardtop and the T-Top
A-Pillar setup?
Does anyone know and would the Hardtop pod work?

Thanks

Later

Gauge pod

Thanks for reply.

Saw that, but when I was researching that they were
stating A-Pillars are different between the HT & TT are
different and contours not the same.

Does anyone have the 2 pod partial in a 3gen T-Top car?
Hate having to play the ship back game if not rite part.

Thanks

Heres a thread where they have t-tops and the Gauge pod. So you should be good to go. https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/show...-top+Gauge+pod

Gauge Pods

Thanks,

Will check it out.
Didn't see any 2 pod partial setup for T-Top there so
may have to go with the 3 pod full setup.
Will ask.
Just got an E-Mail reply from I- Pod and the Hardtop
and T-Top are different as to contour shape.
Guess could always put a clock in the 3rd hole

I had a 2 pod in my 89 Trans Am GTA T Top but after I bought it, I put nitrous in the car so I swaped it for a 3 gauge full pillar. Its in premo condition no scratches or anything it was only in the car for 4 months Ill give it to you for 15.00 plus shipping its black. I even have the 4 plugs you use to mount it to your exsisting Pillar. I can get you a pick. I believe these will fit a camaro PM me if you intrested.

whats up everyone, to shed a lil light on the gauge pod. i have a hard top and i got the autometer dual pod for our third gens. but here is the catch.....it goes all the way to the top where a t top would meet up at. i thought they gave me one for a t top car and mine should have been the whole piece, but its not, they have the same part number for the t top and hard top. so it is the same pod.

Pod

Thanks all for info.

After looking at the size of it I may have to regroup on
where to put those gauges.

Have my Auto Meter shift lite and low oil lite over on the
left near the pillar and would have to move them. I have
custom Iroc dash cover that hides all the brackets and
looks like OEM option. Already have Autometer oil & water
Cup gauges in front of B&M shifter.

Thinking now maybe under Harwood cowl lip outside car.
Not bad weather car anyway and some muscle cars of the
past had them there. Will mock up and see
Thanks again
