Custom A-Pillar gauge pod - lots of pictures

Do you think there is enough room to do a triple?

Can it be done. Yes... Barely. I would advise against it. Anything above the single pod interferes with vision. I will have pictures of a double pod soon and you'll see the space that requires. It looks good but does affect outward vision.

Looking good Gale. When are the install pics coming?

Mine is laying across my dash so I can test fit the ones I'm working on. I'll try to find some time tomorrow to install it and snap some pictures for you.

Look forward to it Gale

Just curious, how much trouble is it to swap out the A pillar? General mechanics I'm fine, but when it comes down to detailed fit and finish

I would hate for it to look cobbled in after the great finish job you do on these.

The finished pillar mounts the same way as the stock unit. At the top of the a-pillar near the headliner you pull that towards the centre of the car. Then approximately half way down the pillar there is a plastic retainer. Using some needle nose pliers twist this plastic retainer 90˚ and pull it out. Then just pull the pillar up and out. Done. The explanation makes it sound harder than it really is.
