Molded from ABS plastic and professionally upholstered, 42 Draft Design's A-pillar gauge pods are perfect for holding a single gauge. Unlike the typical A-pillar pod, 42's pod is designed to be positioned at the lowest point possible without blocking the defrost vent. 42's pod fits 2 1/16” (52mm) gauges of any type. The pod is large enough to accommodate mounting brackets, wire and tubing with ease.

Installation is solid and simple. Designed to wrap securely around the A-pillar, tabs of excess fabric extend from 3 mounting points. Use contact cement, hot glue, Velcro®, or tape to attach the mounting tabs to the back of the stock A-pillar. Some 2001 and later VW vehicles use A-pillar mount airbags. A-pillar pods should NOT be used on these vehicles.

Fitment Details:
Unlike the MK4 VW, fitment between the dashboard and a-pillar trim in the B5 Passat is extremely tight. Wiring and tubing cannot be routed down between the pod and pillar trim. It is physically impossible to squeeze anything extra in this area. In order to run tubing to a boost gauge, a hole must be drilled in the stock pillar trim. This is covered extensively in 42 Draft Design's installation instructions.

The B5 interior features two unique shapes of a-pillars. Earlier B5 models feature a flat pillar (shown above). Later B5 models feature a more rounded pillar shape. Many later B5 models with the rounded pillar have a-pillar airbags. Please be sure that you are ordering the correct pillar shape and color!

PLEASE NOTE: The pictures depict the round pod, not the flat that you would receive when purchasing this part.

H&R Sport Spring Kit
"Love these springs. Not too much stiffer than stock. Huge difference in the driving characteristics of the car, handles much better and feels planted to the ground. Love the look and stance as well..."
