Guest *Jedimaster* Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 jedi's too busy eating pie. does he have a cubby pod? Nope. I just shoved that gauge in there. Hmm, Gauge and shoving it in there in the same sentence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccorry Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I did 2 in the cubby, but couldn't get it to fit well with the door... so I made a custom plate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrod Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I'd be interested in one for 2 52mm gauges...but i want to keep the door..i don't see why that would be a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-gorithm Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I'd be interested in one for 2 52mm gauges...but i want to keep the door..i don't see why that would be a problem? It's the depth of the gauge that matters. The gauges that mccorry and I have are too deep to keep the door but some others might be shallow enough. I know a sunpro gauge fits but who wants to use those? Maybe the A'pexi or HKS gauges (shallow ones) would work well here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al-gorithm Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 what about the Autometer Nexus gauges? I don't know... I don't have one to check. I heard one person has gotten them in another post... Do a search and PM him to see if they fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trabbic Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I just found out that I may be able to get Defi BF gauges VERY inexpensively. So I may go that route, even though they won't fit with the cubby door shut. Does anyone have a mounting kit yet for 60 mm gauges that is bolt in? I suppose I could make my own, but I would rather buy one that I know works.

SBT Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Looking for: 1) depth of the meter from back of front cover flange (to get an idea of how much room is required behind the mounting plate - inside the cubby) 2) Meter face protrusion from back of the front cover flange to the front of the gauge face (to get an idea of how much room is required forward of the mounting plate - IOT see if the door will close. Mounting plate thickness will of course affect the amount of room front-to-back inside the cubby itself, but suggest using 1/8-3/16" as the mounting plate thickness should yield the dimensions you need. Trial and error time.... SBT - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the A'pexi or HKS gauges (shallow ones) would work well here. I have 52mm Defi gauges right now...they fit fine in the cubby and the door closes. I don't see why we can't have a A-pillar mount like the SS cobalt does..i don't see why one like that...1 boost gauge would interfere with the air bag?

al-gorithm Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 If you take your A-Pillar cover off, you will see that midpoint of the cover there is a metal clip that looks like it keeps that portion of the cover and lower from flying off when the airbag deploys from the top of the pillar. THAT is why I think it is save to install a gauge pod from the midpoint down to the base and not above. If someone were to make a lower half a-pillar gauge mount that holds two gauges, it would be safe and they would sell a lot of them. Add the avo pod and you have 3 gauges within the same area. I believe that the metal clip will hold the a-pillar cover on because I basically had to bend the cover 45 degrees above the metal clip to remove and re-install the cover. Did you get the email from AVO about their dash pod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrod Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I'm really not feeling the AVO dash pod...looks out of place. I do think something like what the SS cobalt has would look good in the lgt though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarrod Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Best I can do...it's just a smaller a pillar pod but it looks good i think. http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/12h/www.edmunds.com//pictures/VEHICLE/2005/Chevrolet/100434292/031662-E.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
