I have one of the Dept of the Interior pods in my GQ with a UHF mounted in it. Very handy, easy to reach the controls etc....looks neat.

Mine was a second hand unit. Paid $60

yer would be nice to have a pillare gauge pod. I am sure I have seen one for a GQ. But in mycase there is going to be a bit of steel in the way and they want fit.
So I am going to come up the layout and AdrainGQ (mate buddy pal) is going to make up a dash pod. Would get the dept of int if I can find one 2nd hand for the right price. But not likely. As I will need it around OCT I think.

There is a company that makes them for GQ's. Out around Tullamarine I think.

They used my old GQ for a template.. PM GUjohnno about them. but apparently they were shit quality, and didnt even offer him a reasonable discount on one for using his car for a template!
