4 pod dash gauge holder

Anybody have one?

I was looking for a 3 holer and found a NOS 4 holer but without the base. I'd rather have the 3 but thought I could make this work. If anybody has a picture of what the base should look like that would help, or where on the dash they mounted it as well.

Thanks,

I see a 3 pod but no 4 pod. Its the Banks model I think. I'll look up the model number.

Ritchie-O has a very nice 7-gauge one, (I think?!) that was home built. Ask him for the plans.

I am pretty sure all the banks stuff is discontinued for our trucks.

That's what Brandon said a while ago. I think he even contacted them and asked but they didn't have any plans to re introduce them.

I contacted them as well and got the same story. " sorry, but we have no plans to make more "
I have a 4 pod banks new old stock here at the house. They were discontinued like a decade ago and a buddy found me one from a diesel shop on the west coast. My 93 has the home made pod made from a flat metal shelf and a scrap of aluminum. I have no plans, just made it. I can't draw something and make it. I just figure it out as I go.

If your looking/settling for the 3 gauge pod, Summit sells them, requires trimming:

Gauge Pod $45.95

I got a summit brand 3-gauge pod for $20.. comes in cheap-o "carbon fiber" finish, but a little semi-gloss black fixed that.

Thats what I think I found. I'll check the part number. Is yours two piece? Like with a base?

Yes, my banks 4 pod, made for the area above the message center dash top has a base as well as the 4 pod section. You could also get a 3 pod dash mount that was made for the pillar side of the dash. If I had the money at the time I would have bought a few. The guy had a few 3 and 4 pod bases and tops.
