Pillar pods....

Does anyone have pillar pods for their first gens?



If so, what kind of car was it originally for?

i want to get one as I need to mount more gauges but my life is further complicated by the fact that I am Right hand Drive.

Any suggestions... I need options!! 1st gen forum is the greatest!!

Thanks,


Thomas

Yes, please buy his. They are from that gaugepod place. He pre ordered a bunch so they would make them for us as they needed a min 50 paid orders to get started. We couldnt get enough, so he shelled out his own money to make up the deficit, hoping to sell them later on. Then he hounded them for a year till they came thru. We all owe him for his hard work and effort to make these avilible for us. Cag8or

He's a good guy. We were trying to hook my car up with http://www.hosetechniques.com/ to make a silicone hose kit GSL-SE's. I guess they weren't interested.

Thank you Web 777!! But I need one for a Right hand Drive. You can't just move it over to the other side because the gauges will not face you.

Sorry about the extra posting but I am a newbie so please be nice to me when i ask stupid questions.

You are all great!!! Thanks!!!
