I have the 2x60mm GReddy A pillar and it takes up a lot of space. It can be annoying at times because it's way too 'IN YOUR FACE'. It's discontinued now but you can probably still find some brand new.
A RHD 3x52 or 3x60mm A-pillar would be rather uncomfortable to have in such a tight space.

Centre of the dash for 3 gauges is better.

I have the GReddy 60mm twin a-pillar pod. Will be switching to a centre speaker mount soon - It gets in the way .

Google 'flyrx7 triple gauge pods.' He offers them in RHD fitment, and they're (IMO) much nicer than the a-pillar pods which as mentioned get in the way when making tight turns.

flyrx7 only made 60mm tripods for the center speaker right? i would like to get 52mm gauges. i found this: http://www.rotaryart.uk.com/acatalog...auge_pods.html (already asked whether they are available for rhd)

did someone ever try to make a triple gauge pod for the passenger side of the center console facing to the driver? I mean something like this:



You could keep your centerspeaker, the gauges are easy to see and don't disturb the driver like a pillar gauges. and yes, i know the pantera rs fighting meter, it looks like **** ^^.

too bad, i really consider to buy a universal gauge pod and try out what i've shown in the picture above. i think i like a clean dash more than with the center speaker gauge pod
