For you guys without the Attitude but are looking for someplace to stash your gauges. How about overhead and on an angle for easier visibility. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley9.gif

The parts are ready for anodizing and clear coating. I didn't like the finish on the samples I sent for brushing/anodizing/clear coating. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley7.gif
I saw them Monday. The second round is up for approval tomorrow. Once we agree on a price for finishing I can take orders. Sorry for the delay. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley9.gif

Lets see, I am waiting for a trans cooler, an attitude mount, some VR straps, a west coast tune and possibly a west coast converter....


Looks like the VR straps are a go at leasthttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/hihi.gif

Make these cause I'll buy one or the other. Just depends on if I go with the Edge/Attitude combo or the TTS program. You new pod mount would look great for standard egt guages, etc.

Looks great, but I may need one milled with slots for those standard illuminated rocker switches.

This view is sitting in the driverseat and turning your head to look at the gauges. So it's what you see when driving down the road.

Now the only thing I can think to add to that is some centers on the back so I can drill a hole to mount the air horn button http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley15.gif

They look really cool http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif

The other place I was looking at for mounting gauges was the center console where the 6 CD changer isn't, or the cubby hole above it.

On the back side of the flat area to the right of the gauges there are two center drilled spots. So if you want to add a switch just drill the hole through to the front before installing. So you got what you asked for plus an extra!

Those are nice....http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley20.gif IMO much better than the pillar mount if going with 2 gauges.

Trippin, just what I'm looking for. Bought the "A"-Pilliar full pod but don't like the gauges so close to my face.


I would need a rectangle shaped hole for my power slider switch on the far right side of the pod. Is this do-able, if I give you the dimensions???


I would want the black verision


I bought the 2-1/16 autometer cobalt series boos and pyro.


I'm down in San Diego. I could come up if that makes it any easer.

I can put in a rectangular slot for your switch. I can do it either by dimensions......or you can send me the switch for the best style/ergonomics. Special orders don't upset us. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley9.gif


You want fries with that? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/hihi.gif
