Does anybody make an A pillar pod system for several gauges for the
Vanagon or have found one another model that works??

I have a 3 gauge pod mounted on top of the instrument cluster
cover(OP/FP, Vacuum, and WT/OT)  Two toggle switches mounted in front
allow me to flip back and forth between WT/OT on one gauge and FP/OP
on the other, effectively giving me 5 gauges' worth of info for the
price of 3.(plus 2 extra sensors).  I'd like to add an ammeter and
volt meter, but don't want to add moret o the top of the instrument cover.

  For those that can get by with 2 or 43 gauges, I've seen the
multiple gauge opods on ebay pretty reasonably priced.
