full pillar gauge pod for spyder? [Merged 3-8]

[Aren]

Sorry, new to forum (hope this is posted in the right place).

Does anybody know if a full pillar gauge pod (2 or 3) is manufactured for the spyder (mines 99 btw)? I have been looking all over the net with no luck. Thanks.

scroll down, they have ones specifically for spyders(the top part of the gauge cluster is contoured a bit differently than a normal hard top)

The regular ones fit in the spyder. Lots of companys will say they dont have one for the spyder but thats cause its the same one as the hard top. I know cuz i got mine out of a hard top and it works perfect.

Ok I cant find any guage pods for my 98 gst Convertible, can you guys tell me what your doing, and i dont want to take out the front vents. Pics would help to if you have any, thanks alot.

That dual gauge bezel thats sits behind the steering wheel would work for you.

Have you thought about pillar mounted gauges?

 

[Red Man]

the 3 pillar wont fit on a conv.

You never specified that you wanted a gauge pod that fits 3 gauges.

There are only a number of ways that i know of that you can mount gauges: a-pillar, behind the steering wheel, individual mounts, vent mount gauges, dash top pods, or you can make your own gauge pod. I am probably forgeting something.

or do like i did...get the 3 pod and cut it to 2...

 

[Red Man]

do you have a picture?

 

[turbo98eclipse]

will a night shot work? ...its dark here

 

[Red Man]

yeah that will work, and what did you have to do to make it fit.

Did you try Lotek at http://www.gaugepods.com/mitsubishi.html ?

 

[Red Man]

damn your car looks hot, how did you get yours to work, gauge pod that is

 

[turbo98eclipse]

i just cut the top pod off and relocated the screw....as seen below. pics were taken with a sidekick and flashlight then blown up 350% ill take more tomorrow MORNING

 

[turbo98eclipse]

geezus!! though the 2pod looks hot from the link wret gave!!! scroll down. they have a 3pod too!! *ideas ideas...*

 

[Red Man]

ok thanks for taking the time to take the pictue, i would love to get mine like that,
can you make it where it can hold the the third pod

 

[turbo98eclipse]

im not sure...i guess you can get the 3pod off the site wret gave. but if you cant spend $50 and need a cheaper ebay one...then yes, im pretty sure you can do a 3pod one too. but for me, i have the 2pod and at home have ANOTHER 2 pod which sits by the gauges (spedo, rpm, gas, etc... the DASH basically ...what am i thinking!)http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-99-MIT-ECLIPSE-DUAL-GAUGE-METER-CLUSTER-DASH-2-POD_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ46100QQitemZ4626776609QQrdZ1

 

[Red Man]

yeah i saw that but am not sure if it is gonna block my gas gauge or not, that would suck

 

[turbo98eclipse]

mine has been home for like 18mths now and i have never checked for that before ...they also have one that sits ATOP the dash itself. kind of like where a radar detecter would be mounted... in that area
