Default Triple Gauge Pod

Sometimes having a hardtop LT1 bodied car proves to be a pain in the ***. I am in search of a pillar mounted 3 hole gauge pod (Eboost2, Wideband, Fuel Pressure). I have found stuff for t-tops and verts but not hardtops. Anyone have any suggestions?

Try to buy a used stock pillar and make your own if you cant find anything. Not very helpful but if your competent with yourself you can make it work.

You can adapt them to fit. Look up some of DOPEFEDZ pics he had one.

I modified a glowshift pillar for my car, pretty simple to do.

Mine is a hardtop and the Autometer triple fits fine. I didn't think there was a difference.

I don't have a pic of mine at the moment, but the glowshift pod kind of curls on the end where it would typically meet up with the ttops. All I had to do was take a dremel tool to cut the edge off.

I have a 94 hard top as well, search all over for triple gauge pod. I'm taking a double and single and will probably fiberglass them to the factory pillar.

The triples that I've seen are for the 97 and up dash.

I used a US speed triple pillar and purchased a factory GM drivers a-pillar. Took both item and made on full triple drivers a-pillar, covered in black alcantara and it fits perfect. If I was going to make one again, I'm sure I could make it much easier the second time around
