A-pillar boost gauge mount

Does anyone have a link or know of a vendor that makes a nice a-pillar mount for single small gauges? I was thinking of mounting a stewart warner boost gauge or similar on the lower a-pillar near the dash pointed towards the driver. Preferably a single mount that fits the MS3 and either matches or can be painted to match the existing interior. If anyone already has a set up like this please post an image for all of us to see. I looking into getting a 2" gauge that has similar backlighting and goes through needle momement dance check during initial powerup. Any suggestions on gauges to look at? mechanical, electrical, digital? Thanks.(usa)

if you get enough people interested, I can extend my discount to this forum.

They are great gauges for the price. They have been field tested and perform just as good if not better than Defi and others. These tests were performed by an independent company.

I will look into Mazdas once I find some local guys.

Have you ever tried to make one from the stock gauge cluster area? You know, kinda like so:

I also like the single pod idea on far left vent.
There really isn't any good spots on the center console... it's all too integrated.
does that go over the steering wheel? i want one for around the wheel because i saw a nice one for three gauges and it goes on the center but i think u need to cut into the dash to run wires...

Count me in for something nice on the left side of the instrument cluster. The Pro-Sport gauge looks very nice and will go with them for the business. I'm interested in the single boost gauge mount but really would like to see it on the A-Pillar not the vent. Don't want to lose any functionality doing this mod. Thanks.
 
Hey, if I take off the center cover from my speed3 with no nav can you make a pod for that. I would like to resemble a defi sti hood that can screw in from underneath and sit flush. What sort of materials are you using for the pods?

The material is a rigid thermoplastic. I would love to see a picture of the console as it sits in the car, then possibly obtain the console and design something for it. The design and prototyping phase would not take that long.

Anyone have pictures of this?

I have my motorcycle with me today so I can't do it now. If no one beats me to it and my sick dog doesn't die I should have them up tonight.
 
I will try to find someone local and develop something. Might not be quite the same, but maybe I can get close. Anyone have pics (or link to pics) of the interior where gauge pods might go?
 
Speed3 Interior

Here are few shots of the speed3 dash. It would be sweet for a triple pod to sit there and slightly angle towards the driver.
