A fellow member contacted me to see if I could mount a 2 5/8 tach into a triple pillar pod. The stand hole size for the pillar pod is 2 1/16. So after some cutting and fiberglassing it is done.

Standard pod, you can see the markings where I am going to cut.


Mold made out of poster board and tape.



First coat of fiberglass.



After some sanding



Applied some adhension promoter and several coat of 2-part filler primer and sanding




I applied some wrinkle finish to restore the factory grain.


Finished Product




The member will apply the final color coat.

 

nice work!!!!

 

dude that is ****** awesome

 

any idea on fitment? my lowest pod is about 1/16" from my dash

 

I have not tried it yet, will try tomorrow once the wrinkle finish is completely dry, it takes forever to dry. But I did not modify the backside of the pod, mainly just the opening so I don't think it will have any fitment problems..

 

that looks great!

 

looks awesome! cant wait to get it installed

 

Dude That Is So Awesome....

 

Thanks guys it was a fun project and it really was not that hard to do.

I hope this is what you were wanting!

 

if it fits as good as it looks, i'll be happy.
