A pillar triple gauge pod query

[BDKR]

I have one for my 744 and am curious about the install procedure. I have no instructions for this thing.

Sorry for the dumb question, but I've been running around in 240's for the past 6 years. ;-)

And how did you guys route the wiring and hose (for boost gauge). There is no obvious place to run it through the top of the dash.

I just kind of stuck my up in there and it stayed, as for the wiring and all that...its kind of ghetto rigged atm

Are you removing the factory A pillar trim? If you remove it, there should be a location that you can run the wires/hose through.

For me, on my 9, I needed to cut a bit out of the bottom pod, as it wanted to hit the speaker grill, and I had to remove a small piece off the factory trim to attach to the aftermarket one to cover a gap at the bottom. If I think of it, I'll try to snap some pictures. All in all though, fairly straight forward. With the usual crawling around in your footwell antics of course.

no, the pillar is a different shape and angle, and i think on 240s its not as thick.. (thats what she said)

you dont need to run a tacky A-pilar gauge pod in a 240 because its got plenty of great places for gauges in the dash.

That would seem the less ghetto route.

:lol: Done plenty of that.

700 LH 2.2 guys: Is it a pain to tee off the overboost switch hose?

One big advantage of the 200 cockpit.

Thanx everyone. :nod:

I was thinking about making a top dash double din box (for a double din stereo obviously) for 240's in the past. As a matter of fact, there was a thread showing pics of how people did this. It may be help if you are considering this.

Personally, I like my vents so they stay.

And besides, I don't think a pillar pods are tacky. ;-)
