What pillar pod should I use for my convertible?I already made the mistake of buying regular 240sx pillar pods.My pillars are the same width as the regular pillars, but flat and shallow.Help!I need to hook up my boost gauge ASAP!

I don't think I've ever heard of a pod specifically for the conv., my guess is that they don't make one. You may check to see if the non-conv.'s pillar will install on your conv., then put the regular pod on it.

Or just find another place for it. Try to find those pods that mount on the top of the dash maybe.

I know all that, thanks anways.What I was asking was, if anyone knows of another pillar, like an eclipse or civic or something, that would fit better than the regular 240sx one I already have!

Never mind!I figured it out!All I had to do was go get a pillar out of a regular 240sx and cut the top off to match that of the convertible.The only problem I see is that the electric seat belt runner slot in the regular pillar is open in the convertible.But who really cares!When the gauges are in i'll never notice it!I'll be staring at the 15psi i'm running!
