Yea, you can just buy the 86 to 88(otherwise known as series 4 or s4) pod and use a hair dryer or some heat object to sort of bend(NOT MELT) but bend the pod around a little to fit...I'll post a pic of one in my buddy's '91 T2...

Here's the pic...like I said, it'll fit and it looks fine too. You probably can't notice from the pic, but it did fit tightly and looks good from the outside too...

We used a heat gun and bent the pod into shape to make it fit better on the '91...I'm pretty sure a hair dryer will work too, it'll just take more time, lol...

Oh yeah, I guess I should have thought about that for half a sec. There is no place for them.

Hey thanks for all the info. I ordered the guage pod today. It should be here by Friday. I think I'll use the hair dryer trick to make it fit tight. Thanks all!!!!! You guys are great.
