Default guage pod

I'm wondering if there is a guage pod that goes on the steering column? I've seen them online for other brand/cars. I just can't locate any for my 02 camaro. Any other suggestions/ options for a single guage pod would be appreciated. This is for a afr guage.

i didn't see one. when i do a search it brings up several manufacturers.
I did see a 98 camaro with a nitrous pressure guage in front of the shifter. where there is a cubby hole. I have a convertible, i wonder if the guage will fit next to the top up/down switch. Has anyone put one there. i want to hook the leads to my hptuners pro, and these locations would keep it closer.

those cluster gauge pods are really nice.... but i'd grab a pillar gauge pod before i purchased that one. (80 dollars) I was thinking the single on the steering column would be great for the afr gauge.

Be ready to drill and cut into your pillar. My a pillar has to be replaced because CMS fucked it all up for the previous owner.

I made this for my wide band gauge. Already had a 2 gauge pillar and didn't want to buy a 3 gauge.

You can easily move the convertible switch into ashtray without having to extend the wiring in a4 center console . It's cool and keeps it hidden.

The ashtray is where my nitrous switch will be located. I've been trying to find time to install my nitrous express system.

About that Perrin item.... if mounted on an fbody steering column it will probably interfere with the hazard lights button. Might need an offset install or mounting somewhere else if you use it frequently.

If running a single gauge, it might be better to just mount a normal cup on the column, pillar, or dash. I prefer keeping AFR in peripherals while looking down the road.

found this on ebay a couple days ago, looks pretty cool. only issue is I would think the gauges would partially block the temp and volt gauges in the factory cluster. seller said they didn't have any installed pics to verify
