Do they make gauge pods that go in the vents for 2 1/16" gauges (not a-pillar) I can get a killer deal on some gauges but there all 2 1/16"
Has anyone put those in there vents, do they look to small?
POST PICS

I dont have any pics but I've always wondered the same thing. Heres what a gauge panel for the vent looks like with 3 2 1/16" gauges from gaugeplates.com

it says its coming soon so you would prolly have to talk to them yourself to see if it is in production.

Click on the picture knuckle head. LOL

Edit: BTW... the vent cover type pods are not too difficult to fab up if you're looking for it to be a particlular way.

i believe they make a vent cover with two 2 1/16" gauges that also lets air flow through still, so you don't sacrifice your a/c or heater vents. not sure but i think mansonazz has this setup?

I used to have some Autometer ones with the A/C vents with 2 5/8" gauges.

They looked OK but did not come with any way for the A/C duct ro route the air behind the gauges and out the vents.crapola

It just opened up behind the gauges a big hole in the duct and would blow the A/C into the back of the gauges and inside the dash.

So I ended up plugging of the entire duct so I could get more pressure out of the side vents and the vents by the guagues were there for their looks.

here is what they look like in 2 5/8".

BTW. The guague pod in "mansonozz's" car was a custom "1 off" done by Alan at Speed of Sound LLC. It turned out sweet but he won't be making anymore.

I was hoping that someone would know a company that sells the vent gauges that hold 2 1/16' gauges. Or someone that had pics. But I've decided to pass on the offer, I think they will be to small even if I find a company that makes them. Thanks for the replies

www.cp-e.com or search Ebay for a Mustang Radio Bezel

1/8" aluminum CNC cut and powdercoated.

Unfortunately I dont have any gauges to put in it yet. And you can flip it 180* to have the radio on the bottom.

I just ordered that exact piece on Friday. It's nice to see it installed before it gets here. Now, I am just deciding on what version of Autometer gauges to fill it with. (Oil PSI, Coolant Temp and Oil Temp for an experiment I have planned over the winter)

Thanks for the tip, I'll call on Monday to confirm the order since they didn't send an email or anything.
