Yeah I have a sunpro temp in front of the shifter but it will be replaced with a autogage. Mine broke while back and a friend lended me his extra. The mounts are gauge cups. Heres the link where i got mine when i order other things.

And one on ebay where you will pay just a little less.

looks good. I am wanting to put a 2 1/2" tach on the dash by the driver side. I already have the 3 guage pod on the middle of the dash. This gives me ideas.

I got my podds today, did u use the center hole or the back on on the pod stand to get it angles right towards u? Holding it up if I use the center hole the stand will look right but the won't come far enough in to look right. But if I use the back hole it wil, but the front will be slightly off the pillar. U think u could slide the pod out of the stand and shoot me a pic?

I didn't use the pods on mine, I just bought the mini tach at Autozone that has the bracket. I just pulled the A-pillar, drilled a hole, angled it where I wanted it & tightened 'er up.....:icon_thumby:

Figured I would give you a free bump so the O.P. has a better chance to see it.....:icon_thumby:
