60mm triple gauge a-pillar pod?

Does anybody know where I can get a triple gauge a-pillar pod that accepts 60mm gauges? Also a 52mm to 60mm guage spacer/adapter? I want Defi BF-R boost and water temp gauges and an Innovative AFR gauge, the Defis come in 60mm only and the Innovative comes in 52mm only (AFAIK). I've seen a triple a-pillar pod from rotary performance but it was 52mm only. Thanks

-Andy

Hmm I'll look into that, but if someone can show me where to get a triple 60 then that could be better since I've never done fiber work before

First off, pretty much every 52mm gauge pod I've seen can take a 60mm gauge with a minor amount of Dremeling. If you think about it, you're just taking 4mm off around the edge - not a lot of material.

Second, I'm not a fan of 3-pillar pods. That will REALLY block your view of the road. You might want to look into the pods that sit where the center speaker goes - FlyRX7 I believe was making triple pods that hold 60mm gauges that are VERY nice.

Listen to Dale. I find a 2-pod pillar significantly affects vision during left turns, a 3-pod would be even worse.

My friend has a triple 60mm A-pillar pod, and it does protrude pretty far out. I would assume their are significant visability issues as mentioned above too.
