Well first off i own an s13 so as we s13 owners know, its very inconvenient to mount three gauges on the A pillar due to the automatic seatbelt. Unfortunately, the din panel underneath the radio is home to my SAFC so it leaves me no choice. Anyone ever done this or attempted it? I thought there was a thread about this but i couldnt find it. Any pics would help. Thanks.

i dont think they made a triple gauge pod for the s13. you can fit a dual pod though, autometer makes one specifically for the 240sx(i think). have you considered moving your SAFC?

Why not get one of those aluminum panels that let you fit three gauges where your center air vent is (or used to be)? Granted, you lose the center vent but you have all the others. You'll have your gauges mostly in your line of sight AND it's not as tacky as an A-pillar pod (IMO).

well i did see the center vent mounts but im down south here in miami so i cant afford to lose those vents when it gets 90 degrees outside. as far as using the single and dual autometer gauge pods, that was my plan. I already have the dual so i just wanted to know if anyone has added the single. or if any one has pics of 3 gauges on the A pillar.

why not get gauges like the BLITZ i-D series gauges. You can use suction cups so that you can stick on your windshield. Gauges are only an inch or less thick. I used to have them.
