Where can I buy an A-pillar guage pod for my C5?

Not sure which is the A Pillar, but the driver pillar is available at RK Sport. Autometer has O2 gauges, but they are stoich based, not WOT based. There is a shop that retunes them for WOT at: http://gadgetseller.com/gauges/ http://gadgetseller.com/gauges/modifiedproducts.htm

I got mine from RK Sports. It only took 3 months to receive. If you don't mind the wait get it from them. I don't know anybody else that sells them.

you know, I have no need for such gauges but they sure make the car look menacing..hmm Maybe I could put an analog clock in one and a compass in the other?

Re: Where can I buy an A-pillar guage pod for my C5? (ambitin)
Is there a way to mount the Valentine 1 remote console on the A-pillar like these gauges? I think that woulk be a great place to put it rather than in front of the gas gauge.

Hi,
I also do not have a need for additional guages......However, I agree with our co-member as written above....
Compass = Great Idea !!!!!
So would an Altimeter (sp) the second guage?
Another vanity mirror perhaps?
Shift Light?
Stop Watch?
Maybe a transmission tempreture guage?
Please, would you all offer some ideas on a "set" for this pod.

It would be nice if someone would come up with gauges that will fit where the ashtray is.

An Air/Fuel gauge would be cool!
How difficult is it to install one of these, including the pod?

If you use an AutoMeter A/F Gauge, make SURE you get it recalibrated for WOT, or it's useless.

I just did some quick checking and it appears that there's a "full pillar" product that covers your entire A pillar and include 2 or 3 gauges. These provide a factory look. The alternative is are gauge pods which as I understand it do not cover the entire pillar.
I didn't see any full pillar gauges available for the C5. Anyone know?

The web site is still under construction so it may take a while for it to open.

Re: Where can I buy an A-pillar guage pod for my C5? (99 Corvette)
I have the RKSport/Autometer A-pillar pod right here beside me and it is a complete A-pillar panel. It is excellent quality as well. It will be going in my car with Autometer Fuel Pressure and Nitrous Pressure guages shortly.
The A/F guage is sort of neat but I find you really cannot trust the 02 sensor values for an accurate A/F mixture because they are only made to be accurate around 14.7. At WOT you are hoping to have between 12.5 and 13.0, so they tend to now be very accurate.
