The Focus a-pillar is at a much smaller rake angle than the C900, most cars are. Even if the pod fits, the gages will be tilted upward and hard to read. You will have much better luck with one from a truck. I would try one from an older F150 or something similar, and be sure you have a dremel to help make it fit.
Ram, why do you want an a-pillar gage setup? It is a seriously bad design compared to placing them atop or in the dash. A-pillar gages are each at a different distance from your eyes so you have to refocus a bit to read each one. They are also a different distance from your other gages in the cluster so thats more time spent reading and less spent looking at the road. Also, a-pillar gages are easily spotted from a distance, which could invite theft of the gages themselves, stereo equipment, etc. if you live in an area where this is a problem. IMHO the best thing to do would be to get a dash top pod and place them right above the stock cluster, that way they are easy to read and you don't have to fabricate anything to adapt an a-pillar pod.
My 2 cents
