does anyone know where you get those pillar pods from? or is there a better option for fitment of a boost guage and a voltmeter?

[9W6VX]

I use two separate pods for my boost gauge and pyrometer. There were some pictures here but I'm not sure if it's MIA (missing in action) now!

I also have a voltmeter but have not installed it as there seems to be no extra space in my opinion. Doug and Macca installed the gauges without a pod in the cubby hole just below our centre aircon vents.

Where is that line located could you possibly upload a photo further out of the engine bay as I'm not 100% sure what line it is. Don't wanna t into the wrong line

Right hand side of top mount intercooler, may need to remove the top mount plastic guard/shroud to reveal it's location

You can get pillar pods from Autron, they had a special on a few months back and I got mine for a bargain $30, usually $100ish, fit in perfect and looks great.

Do you gotta buy the autron gauges to get that $30 offer?

No was just a special they had on, but i have just looked at their shop and it is closed!! Says for their gauges contact red ark!, Seems perhaps the Sale was a closing down sale?? but if you hunt around i reckon you could find them, ebay has them but $100 mark

Dang, wish someone had told me earlier
Are they more or less the same quality on ebay?
I hate it when poor aftermarket parts don't line up.

The Ebay ones look the same, and From what i can tell they are identical! Autron used to make the gauge mounts that fit in them odd shaped pockets in the dash too, but not much help when they are closed, perhaps try emailing RedArk and inquiring as to whom now sells the pillar pods that Autron used to sell? I would post you a pic of the pillar pod fitted in my car but i haven't worked that one out yet.

Have had a good look at the Ebay ones, they do look a bit different to the Autron pillar pods, they dont look like they would fit the same, they do how ever have these:
