You must have missed the post where I mentioned getting that piece at the junkyard & painting it to match. Here is a pic of it anyway:

Is there any company that sells a 2 pod a-pillar that can be swapped 2 the otherside of the car and be used to mount in a set of 2 tweeters. If you flip the autometer around will it mount to the otherside?

Bad news about the Mark VII gauge pods :( I inquired about them and they said they are no longer available, they are looking for a buyer for the molds, etc.

Oh, that sucks. Hey, at the Fun Ford Weekend, there was a guy there with a fast S/C V-8 Thunderbird (Steve) who had a 3-opening pod. It was a blot-on, but it looked pretty good. Good enough that he won the "best interior" trophy in the car show!!

I asked a friend who knows him about the pod, but I haven't heard back from him yet. Does anybody know who offers this?

OK, I accidentally ordered the 3 gauge pod pillar (ATM-12121) as I wanted 3 gauges and I didn't look closely before ordering :D I guess Autometer doesn't make a bolt-on 3 gauge anyway, so it was modify this or return it.


I decided to modify it:


Then painted it and mounted it onto the original a-pillar:



I think it looks good - though I've got to get a closer match on the paint when I remove it to install the third gauge.
