Where did you buy you A-Pillar Pod??
Hello, I want to get a t-top A-pillar dual gauge pod, the whole a-pillar not just a screw on pod.
Where did you guys get yours and how was the finish on the plastic? was it the same texture as original? Also any fitment issue? I did search on here and most said it was a 100% direct fit.
I found this one http://www.yearone.com/serverfiles/f...?hid=P26AL7345 , looks like a good deal. Anybody using YearOnes pillar?
More searching yielded this http://www.speedhut.com/product_deta...NUMBER-635.htm Anyone have that one?

Re: Where did you buy you A-Pillar Pod??
I purchased a triple pod for my t-top IROC to fill with Auto Meter's. Not too happy with it as it appears that it'll end up looking hacked or with a sad seam line showing. A better design would be a molding that has the pod formed into it without seams. Just my .02

Was that the full pillar? Or was it just the part about the size of 3 gauges to fit in? What brand was the Pod? you mentioned Autometer gauges i think.

Re: Where did you buy you A-Pillar Pod??
I have a triple gauge pod from Autometer but I honestly believe the gauge pods sit too low on the pillar since the bottom pod sits directly on the dashpad.... The finish is alright, not stock but not bad... I got mine off ebay for like $10...

Is that the whole pillar? or just a screw on piece?

Re: Where did you buy you A-Pillar Pod??
I havent seen a full pillar for a t-top... Part # pod 12203 looks pretty good too. I wonder how well it fits....

Re: Where did you buy you A-Pillar Pod??
I found the same problem. I bought a 3-pod one but my dash sits about 1/4" high I suppose because it did not fit untill I took the dash pad off. Stupid how they did that, there is no tollerance. anybody try the 2-pod? I hope the bottom one in that is higher than the bottom one in the 3-pod.

Re: Where did you buy you A-Pillar Pod??
the dual pod "full" a-pillar from autometer also sits directly on the dashpad. I am returning it and going another route, its just that bad of a design.

Re: Where did you buy you A-Pillar Pod??
Anybody have one from another manufacturer that can comment on how much space is between the bottom 'pod' and the top of the dash pad?

A friend of mine made these, I believe by using those add-on pods molded on to a stock pillar piece.
