A-Pillar gauge pod where to buy?

Does anyone know if there are any A-Pillar guage pods availabe?

The only gauge holders I've found the ones that go around the tach (I can't do that since my Tack and Speedo are above the steering wheel due to NAV system), underneath the radio/heater controls (crappy place to see gauges IMO) or I found one place that would insert the gauges in the Air vents in the center of your dash (seems silly to close up two vents).

Or does anyone else have any suggestions or pics of where/how they installed aux gauges?

Thanks!

See this thread on how mine were made.

Since I've had a few requests I spoke to the team that crafted the pillar. They will get back to me in a few days about a possible limited run.

A_Pillar Gauge Pods...

This might be what your looking for.

http://www.minispeed.co.uk/new_mini/...duct&id=mrb164

They have single/Double, Plastic or Carbon Fiber A-Pillar gauge pods.
Pictured is the Right Pillar, they do make it for the Left Pillar as well.

I was looking into this option before I went with the CravenSpeed gauge pod.
I have the Volts/Boost and Air/Fuel Ratio installed.

Good Luck

if you are not set on a-pillar pods there are a few out there that will mount around the dual speedo/tach combo.
