Default A-pillar Gauge Pod Feeler

I'm going to make my own a-pillar gauge pod because I'm tired of having a boost gauge and no where to mount it. I'm going to make a fiberglass pod very similar to the 42DD pods. It will sit low enough to allow the air bag to deploy. The hardest part will be sourcing the fabric to match stock color/texture.

So, if I make a nice clean looking pod would you guys be interested if I decided to make more? This will be my pre-winter project, so I expect to have something ready in the next month or so. Post up if you are interested.

Default Would be interested if it mateches fairly well. Dan Farmer had one made.

I would cross post to the allroad forum, and also search Dan's picposter for pic of his.

Default I like yours, but I've also seen gauges attached to the top of the steering

column that look nice.

Default Yes LI-S4 was considering taking the digital gauge I have and putting it in his stealth

unit (like toyguy's) in stead of the V1. I already have the V1 there so that was the next logical choice. It is affixed with Velcro so it can be removed an the only modification was to the plastic cover on the steering column so it can all disappear if I wish.

Default Re: A-pillar Gauge Pod Feeler

I'm removing the a-pillar trim this weekend to see how this will work. The pod itself will attach to the pillar trim and will not be a "one piece" look like the SPP version. Like I said, it will be something like the 42 Draft Design setup.
