I put a 60mm Defi boost gauge in a dual pod pillar.
You cant dremel it out becuase there is only like 55mm of plastic. You need to heat it and stretch it, while keeping the textured look on the outside of the pillar.
Try that!

I have a 60mm Greddy boost gauge in the autometer pod. All it takes is a little dremeling and the gauge fits in. The plastic is ABS and stretches to fit the bigger gauges.

Too bad this is what they look like at night. Sorry for fuzzy pic guys...
Either way, I've still got to get a Interior fuel pressure gauge and an A/F gauge

i went with the integra mount because i couldnt get a rx7 mount and was hard pressed to mount the gauge.
happier with the autometer rx7 specific mount.

You beat me to it 0ball!
JSpec, I think the only way you're going to get 2 more gauges in there is to relocate your AC controls...
Or you can ditch the 2-pod and get a 3-pod. That leaves you needing 1 more. Why didn't you go for the center speaker 2-pod?

But, if he hadn't gone with the DEFI D-Link, and chosen the DEFI D-Gauge, he'd look better in the night (amber instead of green).
I am waiting on my 5 gauges and pods (2 + 1 for A pillar, and center speaker 2-pod).
