Will 2 60mm gauge fit in Dual 52mm pod?

this is the pod i purchased, and i am also buying 2 60mm pro sport gauges, I was curious if anyone has done something size similar and know if its possible to modify the pillar pod to accommodate the 60mm gauges. I searched and only found info on people doing it with the center mount pods. Thanks in advance.

I read of people using the dremel tool around the inner circle's edges to remove some surface to eventually squeeze/snug fit in a 60mm. trying searching it.

i also believe i've seen a few threads of people sanding down the inside lip of a 52 to fit a 60mm gauge...it'll still be pretty snug...

I did it, you will have to sand down a **** load. I didn't think they were going to make it in, but they did, and they look good.

The Prosport 60mm are actually 52 mm with a fat 60mm lip. I have the 60mm boost guage and a AEM Uego in the center pod. It's a tight fit. check out the 60mm section on their website.
