Need a measurement from a second gen Taco

Like the title says, I need a measurement from center hole to center hole of the clamshell that's on the steering wheel column. If anyone could provide me with the measurement that would be fantastic.

Thank you.

 

Could you be more specific?
Just looked for you but not sure what you need.

I looked at the plastic that's wrapped around the steering column behind the steering wheel. Is that the clamshell?

Mine has no visible screws there. I am assuming you are looking for a measurement from one screw to another?

Would like to assist you, need more info.

 

I'm sorry let me be a bit more specific. If you turn your steering wheel 90* you should be able to see a small phillips head screw, and another one if you turn it the other direction. I need the measurement from the one screw to the other.

Hope that clears things up! If not, I can take a picture.

 

OK I"ll look but you just made me laugh.

You have the truck there..... and a camera.....
but no tape measure?

 

Thank you!

And yes I have a truck, camera, tape measure AND a tool box full of tools. BUT my truck is a first gen and I need measurements from a second gen.

 

Gotcha.

OK...kinda tough because I cant get the tape completely between the steering wheel and the clamshell.

I'm going with approx. 5.75"

Hope that helps.

 

clamshell eh?

 

Who knew?

 

That is PERFECT thanks!!

That's what I always called it/heard it called haha I don't know???

 

No worries, good luck with whatever the heck you're up to....LoL.

This is what i'm up to. They do not make one of these gauge pod mounts for us first gen Taco guys, so today I measured the distance of the 2 screws behind the steering wheel, and got 5.75" and yours is apparently the same width, meaning that the gauge pod will mount up to my Tacoma!

Edit: I HATE the pillar gauge pods so this was the best alternative.

 

Ohh that's pretty cool. Hope it all works out.

 

Thank you! I believe it should, let's hope i'm right.
