The gauges wont just slide in all nice and easy. It is that way for a reason. this way the gauges dont come out when you dump the clutch and haul butt. I've bought two of them in my time w/mustangs and I always had to trim the hole just a bit.

I have nothing in this but why on earth would you sell a gauge pillar pod and gauges that dont fit in it, and not sell any that do fit in it.

Good thing i did not get these, anyone know of any 2/3 gauge pillars that work with no mods needed like the way it should be?

I am not sure what all the hoopla is here, but I have this pod and two gauges in it. I have a vert, and I know there was a special part number for verts. Everythinhg fit fine.

Heres what it says on the pillar portion, but on the gauge description it says Kirban A pillar, Im curious too, because I was fixing to buy this setup. :A-Pillar Twin Gauge Holder (1994-2001)

This twin A-Pillar gauge holder will accept two of any 2" or 2 1/16" size gauge. It doesn't require any drilling. It comes with easy-to-follow directions and 3M double sided tape.

This holder comes in black to match the color interior of most Mustangs. If needed you can easily paint it using a paint that is safe for plastics. We have found these A-pillar holders have been very popular over the years as the best way to install aftermarket gauges.
