Default Gauge Mounting question

Has anyone here used the dash mounting pod from American Muscle? http://www.americanmuscle.com/20mugapod.html If so how did the adheasive work, and will they fit the 2 1/16 gauges?

Thanks,
Jim

I have it so dose Joe (jbailer) and neither of us are fond of it. It will let up a bit if the car is sitting in the heat over the summer.

I am about to use the A-pillar dual mount for my fuel pressure and nitrous pressure gauges. I looked into the dash mounted assembly, but it just looks too aftermarket, and the thought of taping something to my dash makes me cringe. Hell, it took me a while to build up the nerve to tape on my Cervini C-Series quarter window scoops. You can get the A-pillar full replacement piece at almost every Mustang parts vendor on the net for about 75 bucks. This mount holds the 2-1/16 gauges. check out http://store.cal-mustang.com/showdetl-7-9601-25-0.html

Good Luck.

Thank you so much guys! I was afraid the dash mount didn't stick and looked to out of place. Piller pods it is.

Thanks again,
Jim

I ended up with the tri piller pod and went with the NV series Autometer. Thanks again for the input.

I have the autometer a-pillar 3 gauge pod.



I'ts not a full a-pillar replacement, and fits over the existing trim piece. I'm not crazy about the fit, or the method required to hold it down, nor the amount that the gauges stick out. The speed of sound gauge pod will be my next one...... http://www.speedofsoundllc.com/2005-upMustangPod.html

The SOS (speed of sound) gauge pods are great and replace the whole A-pillar from the driverside window to the front. Very clean look! A bit pricy but looks factory. http://www.speedofsoundllc.com/instructions.htmlThis is a link to removal and install video. Hope it helps
