3 gauge pillar mount for the FC

I've seen 3 gauge mounts for the FD and some generic mounts but does anyone sell a 3 pod for the FC? I'm running the larger Greddy gauges also, not the 2" but I guess I could cut it out a bit to fit. I'm running a single and a double now but the lowest one is hard to see. Maybe I could swapo the positions of the mounts but it still doesn't look as clean as one 3 gauge mount would.

I've asked this question b4 along with others Im sure. The reponse I've always gotten is the setup you're currently running. To my knowledge no one makes a 60mm pillar pod for the fc, or a genuine triple pillar.

I could never find one. I ended up getting a double A-pillar and a triple above the CD deck.

I've bought a universal three gauge mount recently, but decided against fitting it as the bottom one is always going to be way too close to the steering wheel.
Instead I'm making a flat panel to replace the glovebox lid. The gauge pod will be mounted on top of that.

you know if you can get 30 people to pre-pay for a custom 3 gauge full pillar replacement pod, lotek can custom make them for us. http://www.gaugepods.com/custom.html

i had a lotek full pillar replacement gauge pod on my MR2 and the fit and quality was top notch. it is strange though that they have gauge pods for the fb and fd but not the fc...weird

i'm in on a possible group buy , p.s. i don't have automatic seatbelts. you guys should state if you have auto seat belts to , if there's enough of you guys they might make them for the auto and non auto seatbelts.

someone (a representative from the forum) should contact lotek to see if they will make them. but if you guys wanted auto and non auto pillars...you'd probably need 30 each since they will be made from two different molds.

Someone already tried a group buy like 6 months or a year ago from Lotek. It failed miserably, lots of "yah I'll take one" and no money being put up or action. It died off pretty quickly.

For the record, you could do it ghettoly like a lot of people do and just mount a single guage pope at the bottom and then a double pod in front of that. If you do it well and close together it's not noticeable.
