Default Hardtop Triple Gauge Pod?

I CANNOT find a triple gauge pod for a hardtop SS. I've searched e-bay, google etc. Do they make one? Will a T-Top pod fit ? Does anyone have pics of this?

No one has seen any for hardtops in quite a few years. I modified a t-top version to fit mine. Came out really nice.

Their pod is for "T-Tops Only". Like I said, no one has made this pod in a long time. Do a search and you'll see what I mean. I have searched the net and made dozens of phone calls trying to find one only to find out they were discontinued due to lack of sales. That's why I modified a t-top version to fit my hardtop.

Hard top pillars are much longer than convert/t-top cars, they extend past the windshield along the roof edge, parbreak is right there is no triple gauge pod set up for H/Ts, I modded a single and a dual to fit for my buddys B4C, just have to trim the edges some. You dont get that smooth look but it looks clean.

I cut a triple gauge pillar to fit my hardtop and it turned out great. Only problem was at the end where the pod meets the pillar, there was no beveled edge like on the hardtop dual version for it to meet and flow nicely. This is because you had to cut part of that off. I solved it by going to a local hobby shop and buying some rubber "u trim" strip that is used on scale model airplanes as canopy trim. It worked great and really blends the two parts together nicely.
