Hi guys

Has anyone found some decent 52mm / 2-1/16” diameter gauge pods? I was thinking of something to hold a gauge or two on the A-pillar.

Something decent quality, and ideally matching the Ranger trim would be nice. Not interested in generic stuff.

Thanks
Richard

Had a look around... The pillar pods from SAAS seem OK.

Just want to double check before I splash out on guages. Are there any airbags on the A pillar?

Check out HN Customs on FB, they do quite a few different ones. They are expensive but they look like they are great quality.

I have a ReArc "three in one" 52mm gauge in a pod on my "A" pillar.
Anytime I raise my eyebrows at Julie buying new shoes or a dress I'm reminded of it. All up, the gauge, the A pillar replacement pod and the installation was over $1000. It reads Turbo boost, the EGT and has a digital oil pressure.
The EGT required a 1/4" NPT spud for the thermocouple sensor being put in the exhaust pipe.
The oil pressure sensor required a "T" piece being installed at the oil pressure sensor tapping after the oil pump however this put the sensor dangerously close to the chassis rail so a short 150mm braided hydraulic hose had to be made up to put thr RedArc sensor out of harms way.
The turbo boost needed a tapping in the cold pipe so I purchased a Forefront Industries alloy pipe that had a tapping on it, this turned out to be an issue as the tapping was on the underside of the pipe allowing condensation to get into hose to the electronic PCB so shotly after it was installed I was up for a new PCB and a new alloy pipe from Forefront Ind. -- once had made me one with the tapping on the side.
Each time I check a reading on it I have a quiet giggle - never again !
