89-91 a pillar guage holder

Has anyone made one yet? If not, why not? RX7.com used to have a blurb on their site saying they would be coming out with one soon, but I can't tell if their site is for the 86-88 model or the 89-91.

S5 = mouse belts... mouse belts make it hard to mount.

They make full replacement A-Pillar for duo guages

For FD's and even FB's.

I've been watching for awhile, but no one has come out with a 2 guage A-pillar replacement cover for FC's of any kind, be it S4, S5, or Verts.

Only alternative is the 2 guage pod already shown above. Every other mass produced choice, other than mounting in the center panel in concert with replacing the stock radio with aftermarket, has some sort of deficiency such as either covering or blocking the view of idiot lights.

My bad, I see what you guys are talking about now. I kept wondering why it was asked the way I was thinking he did. I'd love to have one now that I have removed my dunce cap!

I bought one from RX7.com a few years ago, but it doesn't fit correctly and it was made for the 86-88 model. At that time RX7.com said they'd be coming out with one for the 89-91 model but I don't think they ever did. Is the A-pillar different from the S4 to S5 model..ie the way the bends are in the plastic?

The VDO dual & tripple pod (single + dual) just require notching the side a bit so the auto-belt will clear:

I just have the pod, not a full replacement pillar, mine's from autometer as well just like the one pictured above, it fits great and works wonderfully. The texture on the plastic isn't quite the same as stock but noone has noticed it aside from me, so it can't be that bad.
