Triple A-pillar Gauge Pod ~Lotek~ (SHIPPED)

[mond12345]

Lotek has decided to make us a triple hole a-pillar gauge pod. They are the current company that makes the two hole gauge pod for us now. They are available to purchase right through their website. The first 20 people get the pod at a low price of $39.99. They are available in black (unpainted), tan and gray. (Just like the two pod) Also the two sizes are available, 2 1/16 and 60mm.

Here is the direct link to order yours - Click (http://www.gaugepods.com/mercury.html)

Remember just the first 20 people get the low price of $39.99 than everyone after that can purchase it for $44.99. The production time is about 4 weeks, plus shipping time.

Which size has cheaper gauges? And are they already producing these things or are they gonna collect our money and wait for 20 customers?

The normal gauge size is 2-1/16. I would think they are collecting the money first but im not 100% sure, Ill find out.

ok find that out for me and then i will send payment.

[foxslayer]

you can put my name down on the list for already ordering it... did it last night when i found out that it was a go

[RodneyBur]

I'll be ordering mine next Friday. Can you give more info on how the Group buy is going to work? Do we have to wait till we get a certain number before it is a go or will they still make them if only 5 people buy them? Is there a cut off date and then into production or will they make them as people order them?

Either way I'm in but just wanted to clear up some possible confusion.

[StealthyWeasel]

so the CC two gauge- it has 2 screw mounting points. does the 3 gauge mount at the same points or do I have to drill more holes?

I thought this new version was a replacement for the whole A-pillar. Am I wrong?

[jrak123]

Does this answer your question Rodney? I think people got really confused early on with this product.
The Cougar OEM pillar is about 6 feet long - it just won't fit on our thermoplastic forming machines.

Remind me to fire our spellchecker.....

[RodneyBur]

haha.. yeah. I just saw the other posts in the other thread. Thanks.

[CougarGuy939]

when i paid for mine it ended up being like 47.99 cause i needed it tan, plus shipping not 39.99

Yes for tan or gray its an extra $7.99, thats how it is for the double pod too. He is already modding the double one and mocking up the new triple pod BUT there needs to be 20 people paid (orders) for them to be produced. After we get 20 paid orders in they will be made which takes about 4 weeks.

[shadowfox28]

soo what happens if we send payment and the gb never reaches 20? Will we recieve a full refund?

[mond12345]

Yes of course. Lets just make sure 20 people buy them and you don't have to worry about it.

[mond12345]

Anybody else need to be added to the list?

[jrak123]

I have to say one thing Lotec is on top of their stuff. I ordered mine Friday(too bad I f'ed up and ordered the 2 gauge one, I have to send it back) Anyhow I ordered it Friday morning and it was on my doorstep Monday early afternoon. Nice product!!!!!!

[jrak123]

[RodneyBur]

'm still waiting for this Friday when I get paid, but I'm definately in.

[streetfamemlf]

Yea i'll pay tommorrow prolly i broke my foot over the weekend so stuff has been hectick

[StealthyWeasel]

okay so just to know were clear, this replaces the stock pillar?

Im ordering it for sure next week, but my guess is that it'll never get made..

[jrak123]

Josh, no it is not the full pillar. it runs from the dash to where the a-pillar meets the roofline.You have to either cut your stock one at that point and deal with the seam, or you can just screw the tripple on over the stock pillar.

[StealthyWeasel]

ah thanks jason thats what I thought :)

[CougarGuy939]

the problem with cutting the stock one (at least with the 2 pod design) it doesnt have the clips built into it so it will just hang unless you want to affix it on there some other way

[shadowfox28]

I would suggest getting some adhesive... Thats what i will be doing, followed by a lot of sanding of the 3 gauge attachment and some kitty hair for the seams

[jrak123]

[mond12345]

Ohh this is going to go through! It better, iv sent a good amount of time on this and Lyle (chrono1) made a very nice adjustment for us to have only 20. He is already making the triple pod up so lets go people, get buying! Make it your cars Christmas gift or something.

[branchedout]

[AndyMan]

u know what, i would really like this product,.. but sadly :(
I already have a 4 pod air bag gauges already and the gauges are.. oil pressure, oil tempeture, water tempeture, and volts gauge...
i can't possible think of 3 more gauages that i could have.. :shrug:

Ohh i can give you three more gauges you could have! :tongue:

[AndyMan]

i know there's air fuel ratio gauge,.. and thats bout it :shrug:

[jrak123]

amps, man vac. EGT.

[AndyMan]

i thought the volts gauge was already the same as the amps... what are EGT and man vac ???

[jrak123]

manifold vacuum, amps and volts the same.... noooo amps measure the current not the voltage. EGT exhaust gas temp. These are all very useful for when it comes to tuning a car

[bensenvill]

I'm still in but didn't want to get my cash tied up if it isn't going to go through.

actually I'm going that route too [and I'm not someone who was on the interest list], I'll send payment when the list of payee's gets a bit longer.

[toolive4life]

i am not sure about this...but isnt the cougar a-pillar the same as a contour/mystique? if so u could post over on their forums and probably get your 20 faster.

You guys can count me in (if that is still an option), would be pretty nice to have some gauges to watch how my new engine is operating.

I have to ask, why do you keep bumping this thread when you haven't even purchased one.

There are like 4 people that say that when more people get in on this they will get in too, well that 4 people would make it 12 and that would be the over the halfway point. I will talk to Matt at Shobro's to see if he will buy a few.

[RodneyBur]

Cool. Thanks for the help.


I'm still in, but just didn't want to tie up my cash.

[branchedout]

Because I know how much work Joe (mond12345) has put into this. He's my friend and I'd like to see this product come to fruition. I haven't ordered one and most likely won't, simply because I don't want any aftermarket gauges in my car, but if I did, it'd be nice to know I'd be able to buy a triple cluster as opposed to just a double cluster because one finally exists now. If this doesn't go through, the only recourse would be to fabricate one myself.

Mike.

Well im going to talk to Lyle (guy heading the GB project) and see if he wants to put a deadline on this b/c its not looking good. I really want one but i guess others don't.

[LostRacer]

beezump..:(

[JonDoe]

Its not the fact of not wanting one but, who wants to throw the money out there and not know if there going to receive the product. I'll be #20 if an when it comes around to it..... Ya know what I'll be 19 and 20. I'll buy 2 of them.

[mond12345]

I understand that but if everyone that wants to buy one would just put the money out now it wont take as long. I was one of the first people and my moneys just hanging b/c everyone else doesn't want to put $50 out. The updated count i think is 8 so 7 others put their money in and is still waiting....

[jrak123]

I was one of the first to shell out money too

[bensenvill]

mond, you really need to go through and PM all the people that expressed interest and tell them to put their money where their mouth is.

I'll be honest, I have absolutely zero need for this and never "expressed interest" but put my name on the list hoping that we could get the min ordered needed to get a new product offered for our cars.
