Viper Pillar Pod Question

I have Emailed someone on these boards several times to purchase a pillar pod for a client and have received no replies. So, does anyone know which Pillar Pod is modified to fit the Viper? Thanks in advance!

All the ones I have seen dont look like they fit too good. Maybe if you get one and then heat gun the living shit out of it, it might do better.

Re: Viper Pillar Pod Question

I did however buy the dual pod and i do in fact plan to "heat gun the living shit outta it" and i hope it works or im throwing the piece of overpriced plastic in the can

Actually, I have one on hand for Jim Hirsch and he made a few modifications to it and it looks much better. Now I just need to know which one to start with?

Re: Viper Pillar Pod Question

All the pilar pods I have seen look way ricer and dont fit. How about just a simple meter cup mounted on the steering column.

Larry:

I drilled a hole in the center of the pod and into the oem pillar. The pillar looks like metal, however, it is a composite of some sort. The screw pulls the pod onto the pillar and it looks factory. I used a black oxide screw and you can hardly see it is there. No matter how much I heated the material I couldn't get it to fit, the screw solved the fit issue.

Wouldn't new be unused? Or do you have some new slight used ones?


Or is that like a slightly used Virgin?

Re: Viper Pillar Pod Question

The one from elite doesn't fit worth a shit. I have one in may car (the back collecting dust) I think he uses auto meter from a camaro tells you to heat with a gun but thats way to much work. I don't understand why autometer just can't make one. Auto meter makes one for the steering column but with it you can't see the speedo.

Re: Viper Pillar Pod Question

The one from Elite is just a mustang pod with a viper logo on it. And the fit sucks. The pods I've got (though they aren't installed) are from a 94-95 mustang. Both the sngle and the dual pods look like they will fit with _minor_ massaging.

I too think it looks like crap until a few changes are made, then it isn't too bad.

The auto meter steering column pod cuases the guage to rub if you use any guage that protrudes slightly (like an autometer :rolleyes).

Re: Viper Pillar Pod Question

Here is a pic of a steering column pod. Made for an '01 Dodge Ram, but fits the Viper perfectly. Only one gauge though and it does partially block the speedo.

I said it that way so some of the s l o w e r thinking Florida folks would understand [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img] If you are selling a car that had new tires installed three weeks ago.....would you advertise it as having new tires even though they are "used" ???

Larry, I will get that shipped out to you, SIR.
