A-Pillar Mounting Pods

Looking for an A-Pillar Mounting Pod for my 85 GSL-SE.
Looking for a single or a dual. I have done a search but had no luck.
Awhile back we (1st gen guys) were going in on a group buy to buy these and I even cut out an Apiller and sent it to the company to use for a mold but i can't find none of that info.

Found some info where some people are running the 89 - 91 Honda CRX pillar mounts.

If you have a pillar mount in a first gen (Single or Dual) please post a pic of it, and where you got it.
Thanks

I made my own today! I made a template from the gauge mounting brackets, and fitted them with a glue gun and dowel, then raped the entire thing with cotton cloth and fiberglassed the whole thing. Right now i'm just using body filler to smooth everything out, and I'll have to paint it on monday. But i have a completely custom, and perfectly adjusted for my ride height dual gauge pod with an extra pod at the top for a tweeter for less than 20 dollars of material, and 4 hours of work. I'll post pictures of the finished product on mon or tuesday, and contemplating putting togeather a tutorial if there is interest.

Got my current twin pod from VDO,made for the 1st gen.I heard they've discontinued it though.
I used a mid 90s Civic pod once,it fit pretty damn close.
