Is the pillar the type that slips over? Autometer's pod comes with 6 push pins to locate the pillar, you slip the pillar over the factory one, drill holes through both of them, and push the plastic pins through to hold it together. If they didn't come with them, a good short self tapping screw will work, just make sure you get the button top phillips type, they look the best.

Heres my gauges. I rust slipt the lower part of the mount behind the dash then pushed the top up and ran a single 1/2 in philips head screw on the top. Looks good!

6?? more like 2.


the pillar fits over the stocker, but i have found a screw into the metal of the pillar with a screw cover works far better than the push in plastic connectors. they just dont hold tight enough.
