Autometer Gauge pod/Speedhut gauges
 
Well, I've been wanting to get gauges for some time now, so I decided to finally do it. I've always wanted the Autometer gauge pod set up because it looks like it's from the factory. I saw the how customizable the Speedhut gauges were so I went with those to get as close to the overall look of the stock dash. We had a little bit of trouble mounting the gauges in the pod, but we figured it out. Here's the test fit; let me know what you think!

Looks good, but what do you need the additional gauges for?

Well I don't really NEED the gauges. I got vacuum, oil pressure, and volts. My battery has died twice in the past two years so it's not like they are useless. I definitely could have gone without them though haha. I just really like the look.

i think it looks real nice. it does fit right in with the dash. what was the issue with the install? myself, i kinda like that dip in the dash, opens a view of my scoop. if i ever get some i`ll go with a pillar setup.

I always question that void in the dash. The center gauge pod just completes it so well.

The only problem was the gauge pod is pretty narrow on the back end. It is impossible to screw on the backing to the gauge to hold it in place. We just put electrical tape around the gauge so it fit snug and it wont budge at all.
