Identity Crisis Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 I am looking for a dual or triple guage pod for my A-Piller. Does anyone know where I can get one of these. Or does anyone know the part # of a universal one that comes close to fitting that I can make fit with some glass and filler on my own? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boulevard Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Heres a pic of how mine turned out! But I have a Z34, a crappy GTP ! I just bought the dual pod holder at Pepboys. I forgot how much it ran but it wasn't much. We first placed the pod holder on the pillar to determine location while pillar cover was still on vehicle. Make sure you don't block the air vent! Even if you do you can trim the pod to uncover it. Once you find the perfect location, mark the pillar cover with a marker. Remove piece out of car. Place pod cover over pillar cover once again. Use rivets to hold pod holder into position. Use at least 6 rivets to hold pod holder into place. Using a heat gun, heat and reshape pod holder to fit close to pillar trim piece, this is easy since the plastic is pretty thin. Pod hold is wider and much larger than the pillar cover. Heat the pod holder and reshape the plastic to meet pillar cover shape. Remove excess plastic from pod holder with side cutters or other similar tool. Remove any large bumps or pieces sticking up by either cutting the areas out or reheating it to reshape it. Mix some bondo or other body filler. Apply fill to pods surround closeing any gaps or holes left after the reshapeing process. If applied over air vents don't worry. Allow filler to dry and sand into shape. Re apply filler as desired in order to get desired look. Using a drill bit, drill out the excess bondo out of the air vent by drilling through the bondo from the inside. Sandpaper the remaining bondo to be removed. Test fit pods into pod holder. Trim area of pillar cover to allow flush mounting of pods into pod holder (this step may not be required). Prime and paint newly modded pillar cover. Connect pods to headlight circuit, one + wire and one - wire. Tada, your done! That's unless you want to have truely working pods? Then your on your own for that. Hollatcha boy, bOuLeVaRd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych0matt Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 however, I would use some fiberglass, instead of a bunch of bondo. You run the risk of it all coming back out, especially if you drive it year round and live in climate with a winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q-Ball Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 SIIIIIIIIIIIIICK! Make me a set. A question though, my 92 GP's interior is the older style. The pillers on mine near the dash have little holes where warm air comes out and defogs the door's windows. Are they like that on the 94-96?

97loudcut Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 I had one in my Cutlass that I cut and made it fit. I believe it was from a 95-97 Monte Carlo. It actually looked really good. May I recommend AutoMeter Pro-Comp Ultra Lite II gauges! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
