i am going to be fitting a draft 42 design one tomorrow, but not a boost one.

I guess you are wondering whether it is okay. I have heard so as the airbag only comes down about half way and the bottom stays in place so the pod shouldnt stop it coming out.

Indeed I believe it was I who confirmed that too Andy

I have the gauge mount but have not yet fitted it because first I need to get it recovered then get the HPA FT360 kit installed.

And it is definitely fine mounted on the A-pillar as I have seen a picture of the airbags deployed and it clearly illustrates that there is enough room for the gauge mount below where the airbag comes out.

Here you go!
I haven't had it glued in place so it's not stuck on properly (didn't want it permanent)

Tam did you read my post above?


I confirmed that the A-pillar mounted boost gauge does not effect the airbag. I have clearly seen a picture of the airbag deployed and the gauge mount will not effect it.
