Default autometer

i just ordered some guages from them, and tried to get a triple pillar as well. but apparently they dont make a triple pillar for a hardtop. what do you other hardtop guys use if autometer doesnt make a triple pillar? ive thought about getting the triple for the ttop cars and then cutting it but i dont wanna do that

You could buy a triple pod, and mold it onto a pillar yourself. Some fiberglass, some bondo and some interior dye and it would look cool.

I could swear they make a hard top version. Check with a few of the sponsors. Off the top of my head, I know Tbyrne sells autometer pillars, and thing Thunder Racing does also.

Autometer discontinued the hardtop triple pillar a few years ago. I use the one for the T-Tops and it looks just fine. The end of it is beveled so it blends
in well with the stock A Pillar trim piece. Color was a perfect match too.

Fits directly over the stock trim piece and is held in place by 4 push pins. You do have to drill 4 holes into your stock trim. Completely covers stock piece all the way down inside the dash and up to where the T Tops would start on a T Top car. Personally I would not go through all the trouble of bonding and trying to blend in that point. It fits very well and like I said, the end of the autometer pillar is beveled so it blends well with the stock trim.
