Default Problem with autometer A Pillar

I'm running a boost and fuel pressure gauge. Not sure if anyone else has ran into a fit issue but I cannot get the lower side of the darn thing to sit flush against the side *see picture*.

The top portion and sides fit perfect, its just the bottom.

My Pod Gauge went over the A-piller. I screwed my pod gauge into my piller so that it would fit nice and snug. Other than glueing it I dont see any other way around unless you just have not pushed it all the way down?

It looks like you have the gauge pod pushed down too far. Have you tried placing the pod higher up on the a-pillar?

If that is a dual pod (not the full pillar), it is definitely too low. The dual pod should be rougly 1/3 of the way from the bottom, with the highest point being around 1/2 way. If it is a full pillar, I do not know what to tell you other than try to readjust it.

Good luck

Andy
