Pillar gauge pods

[Mr Bean]

Are there any dual a-pillar gauge pods that fit on box bodies? Fox body Mustang perhaps?

So far my initial searching turns up dmccaig, I found 4 posts (3 from his old username) but I wasn't able to track down the pictures that are said to exist somewhere.
What he has is for a T-bird, lightly heated to fit. He can probably explain better so here's a link to his most recent post on the subject: http://www.grandmarq.net/vb/showthre...l=1#post720969

I got a universal pod and heated it to fit the pillar cover.

Have any pics? How well does it fit? I don't mind using heat at all, I just don't want to buy something that's totally different and can't be reshaped to fit.

I can get some tomorrow, it's not perfect but will do the job

Pick up a sunpro gauge cage. That is what I used. I then meticulously shaped it on a scrap pillar and then trimmed any edges on the pod so it would fit right. Used a screw in each corner and silicone to secure it to the good a pillar trim. Once the silicone cured (mega strong bond BTW once cured..I used regular black permatex) I removed the screws and in its places popped in hole covers that I found in bathroom cabinet display models. I painted them black so They blend right in.

These are the ones I have made.

Molded to the pillar cover

Not bad. Looks like it's a tad small width wise though. Doesn't cover the whole width of the pillar.

87gtVIC what size gauge do those Sunpros fit?

That's a mid progress pic, I'll get one as it is now.
It comes almost all the way to both sides when formed to the pillar.

my problem is that I need a single 2-5/8 pod for my 93... best looking option so far may be a 93 lightning pod.

I used a Marauder gauge pod in my 96' molded with a help of a heat gun. It fit nicely.

2 1/16" gauges. No idea if larger sizes are available through sunpro. The sunpro gauge cages give you plenty of area to work with....trim to fit in the end.

that would be fine if I had a 2-1/16 gauge... but I have a 2-5/8 gauge and can't find a SINGLE pod for that. I can find triple pods with 2 smaller and one larger, but not just the single.

In case this comes up in a search, the one I made fit over the stock A-pillar cover by heating it was replaced by another that I made with fiberglass and a universal 3 gauge pod cut up.

Nice work!

Any other pictures of your car??
