Red face Triple gauge pillar

Im sure alot of you have this set up if you are boosted. If you have some pics please post them I could use a little advice on just exactly how they are mounted on the pillar its self.

They usually come with little push pins and you drill mounting holes in your existing a pillar and use the push pins to connect the podded pillar to the stock pillar.

I used double sided tape and a heat gun to join mine. Wish I would have done it this way before I put the 2 srews in but its more secure this way. I have 3 2" holes behind each gauge to get wires through. I also have a spare pillar cover if I ever get rid of the gauges

I saw a member here who kinda merged the pod to the pillar by using some sort of filler. After sanding it and painting it, it came out looking really good. Maybe he can chime in if he sees this. Ive been wanting to try this.

Isn't there a company that makes a setup that replaces the stock pillar cover?

I got mine from summit and they included it with like 6 push pins. Your supposed to drill holes in them, i just used 2 at the top and one at the bottom, and i never even notice they are there. Looks like it was made that way from the factory

I have a triple pod pillar from mcalus. Finally solved the eye sore. It really completes the interior look. Very nice quality too. This is the best and only option for gauges in an fbody. It was definitly worth the money. Thanks again mcalus
