I dont know, i bought mine used and only got one plastic rivet deal. Think ill use some inconspicuous black screws lil self tapers.

I believe you gotta take the pillar cover off to drill the holes through it and the pod, then you insert the little plastic rivets.You have to drill a big hole in the stock pillar too, so that wires will be hidden....unless its a full pillar pod....I am not familiar with those.

actually now that i think about it, mines a full pillar 3 gauges and it tucks behind the other plastic trim so besides the wires i could get it to hold w/ out screw holes.

on my 2 gauger (on a vert, which the autometer pillar says does not fit, IIRC), i put it over the existing pillar. i put the bottom of the pod at the base of the old pillar, so wires are hidden anyhow (no drilling of the original pillar for wires). i got some real small sheetmetal screws and drilled them in (and painted the heads). you cant see them hardly. i held the pillar in place and drilled as straight as i could. then i drove (by hand with a stubby screwdriver) the screws in straight - it is plastic and mallable.

after puttin the two bottom ones in, it was held up. i put one top one in and called it good. try the bottom first and see how much you need the top ones (that are hard to drill).

good luck and enjoy.
