Cape T/A

I have seen them for sale, but i have searched and searched and I cannot find who sells what im looking for. I want the guage pod that pops in the vent and will still let the air blow arround the guage.

I have never seen one that will let air past it. All the one i know of available will block the vent

I have seen them but for the life of me i cant remember where they were at, who sells the ones that block the vent?

Never seen one for a T/A. There is one that 6LE makes for the Camaros but its basically impossible for the T/A. The only way I have ever seen one mounted including mine was with a adapter ring to hold it in place.

I simply put my wideband in the center of the three middle vents so the two outside vents still blow to each side. I used the adapter ring from SpeedINC I beleive.

well it ceartinly isnt impossible, because the guage is only 2 1/16 big and the vent is much bigger

Yes, it is basically impossible. If you've never held a 2 1/16" gauge up to that hole I understand why you think this is possible. But once you do you will see there isnt much room around the outter edge of the gauge & the inner diameter of the vent hole. Trust me, I have already been down this road.

The only way for this to work would be make your own piece & cut vents into it but your not gonna get much airflow around the gauge anyhow.

The absolute best way to mount them in our cars if you wanna retain vents is put only 1 gauge in the center vent so both driver & passanger have 2 vents each.

Here is a pic of mine installed with the spacer. Look how little room is around the gauge even in a pic thats not to scale. This is a 2 1/16" Aeroforce gauge.

Not to hijack the thread...but MOAR pics of 2 1/16 guages installed in the vents please. I have a triple pillar pod now but I am thinking about installing them in my vents.

I've got one of the speed inc black billet rings for sale if anyones interested

Cape T/A

Thanks everyone, so where are you all buying those gauge rings (besides speed inc)

I'm pretty sure that you can get a piece of Fernco tubing for under $10 and it will do the same thing

You likely could buy the Speed Inc version and have a machine shop drill perimeter holes around the outside, or even have them make them from scratch. Sort of have it look like a revolvers cylinder. You would likely see wiring through the holes though.

Someone asked for pics.

I used the Fernco "Proflex" coupler part #3001-22. bought at home depot for $8. there is a write up on here somewhere on how to install em. just have to cut a slight trench around the coupler so that it will be held in by the vent ring.

I just measured the holes & gauge. Then made a Autocad drawing of a ring & sent it across the street to the fab shop, got it cut out in 10 minutes for free. Painted it gloss black & was done.
