Re: Pillar gauge pods............ Any interest?

I actually wouldnt mind having a 3 pod one for my cummins project, and actually a second one to put on the shelf incase that I have another cummins project and they are not available then, so you could put me down for 2 of them.

Re: Pillar gauge pods............ Any interest?

Ok, can everyone that didn't vote for a triple, please confirm they are ok with a triple for now? We have 51 right now and if everyone still wants one. I am waiting for Paul to call me back so we can get this one step farther to getting us some pillars. I'm excited!

Re: Pillar gauge pods............ Any interest?

I figured out why I can't get a hold of my contact. He is on vacation and won't be back in the shop until August 9th. If I happen to hear back from before that, I will let everyone know. Thanks Ryan.

So does anyone know where to find a 2 1/16 inch tach? 0-6000rpm probably?

I was thinking the same thing. A lot of the "hot" diesels around here have them. I don't like how they look, but it's all up to the owner.

Though I don't know where the hell else to put a tranny temp guage.

Re: Pillar gauge pods............ Any interest?

Ok guys, I got word from Paul today. His supplier is on vacation and is supposed to contact him on Monday. I am going to start a new thread and that thread will be the order thread. Basically, you put your name in there and you will get one as in the order you put in the thread. He also told me the more we have the cheaper it becomes. We already have a lot spoken for so this should be pretty good. I am looking forward to this as I know all of you are. Please look for the new thread.
