Note: Due to normal manufacturing
processes you may have “flashing” (small
fibers of plastic) around the pod holes.
Once the gauge(s) are installed in the pod
you will not be able to see the flashing.
This mount is designed to hold gauges
with a press or friction fit. To allow you
flexibility in the positioning of your
gauges, all of the holes are cut to the
same size. Oil temperature gauges and
boost gauges should fit into this
mount with no modification. However,
pyrometer gauges and tachometers
have slightly larger cases and
therefore require the holes to be
slightly enlarged.
Identify the hole that you wish to use
for the pyrometer or tachometer. Using
a medium grit sandpaper, a round file
or a deburring tool, SLOWLY enlarge
the hole. BE CAREFUL AND CHECK FIT
OFTEN. The plastic material is easily
removed. We recommend that you
sand slightly and then check the fit,
repeating the process until you have a
desired fit. If you make the hole too
large, the gauge may vibrate out. As a
guide, you want the pyrometer and
tachometer to fit the way the boost
and oil temperature gauges fit the
factory-size holes.
For Single- and Dual-Gauge Pods:
1.
Position Gauge Pod on the A-pillar
in the desired location. Slight trimming
may be required for a perfect fit in
some applications.
2.
Mark the location of the Gauge Pod
on the A-pillar. Remove the A-pillar
from the vehicle.
3.
Create an opening in the A-pillar for
gauge lines to pass through. Test fit
the Gauge Pod with the gauge(s)
installed on the A-pillar to ensure
sufficient clearance for gauge lines and
housing.
4.
Hold the Gauge Pod in its mounting
position on the A-pillar and drill four
3 ⁄ 16 " holes, one at each corner of the
Gauge Pod, drilling through both the
Gauge Pod and the A-pillar. Insert the
ratchet fasteners through the four
holes to secure the Gauge Pod to the
A-pillar.
2003- 2007 Dodge
No drilling required for the single pod
pillar mount. Remove the lower stock
handrail screw. Fit the single pod pillar
mount into position over A-pillar. Pull
the weather seal back on the A-pillar
to facilitate in fitting the pod. Fit the
supplied screw and fasten the single
gauge pod to the handrail.
5.
Install the gauge(s) in the Gauge
Pod. No retaining hardware is needed
to hold the gauge(s) in place, they are
a press fit.
For Full-Pillar Gauge Pods:
1.
Your new A-pillar Gauge Pod installs
over the stock A-pillar. There is no
need to replace the stock pillar.
2.
Remove the stock A-pillar. Note: For
Dodge Ram with Infinity speaker, remove
the speaker from the A-pillar. Cut or grind
down the raised speaker portion of the
stock A-pillar to allow the mounting of
the new A-pillar and the gauges.
3.
Hold the A-pillar Gauge Pod in its
mounting position over the stock A-
pillar. Slight trimming may be required
for a perfect fit in some applications.
Drill four
3 ⁄
16
" holes, one at each
corner of the Gauge Pod, drilling
through both the Gauge Pod and the
A-pillar.
4.
Install the gauge(s) (and speaker, if
equipped) in the Gauge Pod. No
retaining hardware is needed to hold
the gauge(s) in place, they are a press
fit, and the speaker snaps into place.
The Gauge Pod has clearance for the
