Cool

A 3 pod for the Gator. Would rather have the larger gauges with my declining eyesight ( a welder, bad eyes come with the territory). Would settle for the 2 1/16 if thats what the group wants.

I'd like the 3 pod with the larger gauge but
the other is fine. Do they sell the gauges also?

Just another FYI

Three 2 5/8 gauges on the pillar would be over kill. I already hit my hand on the pod when turning sometimes. And with the "hump" in the dashboard I don't think install will be easy. I have the 2 1/16 gauges now and its not like they are very far away and are very easily read. Keep your eyes on the road guys and gals

Later

I'm in for a 3 gauge pod if it isn't too expensive. I would like to get a large pod on the bottom and two smaller ones up top, but whatever is decided on will do fine. I think the Autometer Lunar series is what I'll be using.

Anyone know if they make a dual pod setup for MN-12 TBird's?

I'll Take what ever the group buys, but wyldman has a good idea, 2 5/8 bottom, and 2 1/16 for the top two.

I like the input here. After sitting in my truck and looking at the pillar I think the 2 1/16 would be fine. Its really very close and not like it is under the middle of the dash on the floor or something. Does anybody know what size the Lunar gauges are going to be offered in? Third gauge--I'm going for a water temp which I'm going to mount somewhere in the intercooler system. I think lowering the intercooler temp is a good idea and the first step is seeing what the temp is at normal and after some runs. Also I will install an Amp gauge and either a boost gage or an engine water temp probably the water temp gauge. Boost is boost and either the engine is making it or it isn't which can be seen on the factory unit if you ever look over there when your racing. I never see anything except the track and the other car and the end.

OK guys, Seems a bunch of us like the new, not yet releashed LUNAR Gauges. I just sent Autometer an email requesting an update and a recommendation on a distributor who will give us a good price on a group purchase! I will report back. They promise an answer within three days.

Prices are not known yet. The lunar series come in 2 1/16 (I think). I will ask them about everything, as soon as I know something you guys do too.

Hey Floyd91. What's goin on with the gauge pods? I think there is enough interest for a 3 pod 2 1/16. I will have some new hot gauge prices tomorrow or Saturday and will post.

OK,

3 pod with 2 1/16 for Speedy

2 5/8 on bottom would be great but I'm flexible.
