Are there any dual a-pillar gauge pods that fit on box bodies? Fox body Mustang perhaps?

So far my initial searching turns up dmccaig, I found 4 posts (3 from his old username) but I wasn't able to track down the pictures that are said to exist somewhere.
What he has is for a T-bird, lightly heated to fit. He can probably explain better so here's a link to his most recent post on the subject: http://www.grandmarq.net/vb/showthre...l=1#post720969Last edited by VicCrownVic; 08-11-2014, 11:17 PM.Vic

Have any pics? How well does it fit? I don't mind using heat at all, I just don't want to buy something that's totally different and can't be reshaped to fit.Originally posted by BlackVic_P71 View PostComment

Pick up a sunpro gauge cage. That is what I used. I then meticulously shaped it on a scrap pillar and then trimmed any edges on the pod so it would fit right. Used a screw in each corner and silicone to secure it to the good a pillar trim. Once the silicone cured (mega strong bond BTW once cured..I used regular black permatex) I removed the screws and in its places popped in hole covers that I found in bathroom cabinet display models. I painted them black so They blend right in.
These are the ones I have made.

Not bad. Looks like it's a tad small width wise though. Doesn't cover the whole width of the pillar.
87gtVIC what size gauge do those Sunpros fit?Comment

That's a mid progress pic, I'll get one as it is now.
It comes almost all the way to both sides when formed to the pillar.

my problem is that I need a single 2-5/8 pod for my 93... best looking option so far may be a 93 lightning pod.

I used a Marauder gauge pod in my 96' molded with a help of a heat gun. It fit nicely.Originally posted by sly View PostComment

2 1/16" gauges. No idea if larger sizes are available through sunpro. The sunpro gauge cages give you plenty of area to work with....trim to fit in the end.Originally posted by Mr Bean View Post~David~

that would be fine if I had a 2-1/16 gauge... but I have a 2-5/8 gauge and can't find a SINGLE pod for that. I can find triple pods with 2 smaller and one larger, but not just the single.Originally posted by Mr Bean View Post

In case this comes up in a search, the one I made fit over the stock A-pillar cover by heating it was replaced by another that I made with fiberglass and a universal 3 gauge pod cut up.
