you can get a universal single pod from greddy.
I have that one, and it basicly fits perfect. Go Here. |

Also, many people have said that the Autometer pod for a MKIV Supra fits fine. Mine didn't fit perfectly, and I tried to mold it to the a-pillar perfectly with a heat gun, and ended up screwing up one of the pods, so I cut it in half, and now I've got a single gauge pod that fits nicely.

From what I've seen, it looks like it'd take a bit of modification to get a FD RX-7 pod to work. If you look at the pic below, you'll see that it's got a fairly sharp angle in it, and our a-pillars don't.

Hunter, there's already a group buy going on with that company. I haven't checked the thread lately, but I think Lotek is in the process of building a full triple-gauge a-pillar pod for us.

I got a dual one from APC. It fits alright, it's a little foamy thing to take up the tiny gap. It's a good fit though.

I used one for a 93-98 supra <--- for those that dont know MK this and that.
Newayz if fit pretty good.. I did trim a little of it off on the side facing the driver window to make it a little more flush, fits pretty decent but would like to just get a triple apillar for it eventually... might check out the lotek thing.

Found the solution to my problem. Went to JCWhitney and bought a universal pod. The fit was o.k. took only five minutes of using a heat gun to fit it properly.
Thanks to everyone for their input.

That is the best way to go.....the universal dual pod from jc fits almost perfectly but needs to be cut/trimmed a lettle on each side. I made a few of these for a few guys. Komlofske is a member here and he has one installed that i made if you want to ask him about fitment. Deffinetly for the price you can not beat it and it only takes a little time and patience to get it to fit perfectly!
JC Whitney is the spot for gauge pods! I got pics if you guys want to see the fitment but i dont know how to put them on here so you will either have to explain it to me or just ask me to send you pics by email . dg --------------------  |
