Gauge Pods

[Scruggs Family]

A few years ago I ordered a pair of Autometer temp gauges... oil and water... from Summit.  I guessed at an A pillar gauge pod as there was no listing for a type 44, it was way off and I sent it back.  I ended up talking with the guy that manufacturers the pods for Summit... I have the name somewhere on the receipt... and he guessed that one for a... are you ready... Buick Grand National would come close.  Criteria is whether or not the gauge pod openings point toward the driver... a function of the A pillar rake and 'camber' and the lower end flare.  Well, after some trimming and hair dryer-induced remolding of the upper end it actually came very close.  Had to spray it black, too, as all Grand National interiors were gray.  

I don't know if this will pass your test for 'ease of adaptation' but the gauges really look nice.  There is room for a three-pod if one needs more feedback.
