I bought a single gauge pod holder for the pillar glued it to the pillar, bogged it smoothe, high fill primer the whole pillar, rubbed back in 400 an sprayed both the pillars in the same colour as the car EGO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get the boost to fit, you needed to buy a 90 degree elbow for the boost line, it lets it all fit nicely inside the tripod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking for ages but having a hard time finding one that will fit up easy.I was under the impression a apillar gauge is fine aslong as it doesnt sit above the highest point of the steering wheel.Never heard of utes having side airbags...They do?
