| replacement. Basically, I had to drill two holes into the existing pillar to run the electrical wires and for the boost gauge, run the hose. Then (some screw these pods to the pillars), but he wanted a cleaner look for him, so I drove to the local auto store and bought an epoxy made for bonding plastic with a 3500psi strength! (It's never falling off). Anyways, I used that to bond the pod to the pillar after cleaning the pillar, and then also bonded the inside of the pod to the gauges (Just a single dab on the gauges to keep them from spinning, but still alowing them to be removed later with force if he ever wants to later on to replace them with better ones. After holding everythign in place 20 minutes for pod and another 20 minutes for gauges (drying time), I used some nice plastic dressing on evertyhing to clean and shine it all up, and the pod fit on the apillar perfectly with no trimming of the pod. The only trimming I had to do was to the gauge pod holes with my rotary tool, so the gauges would fit. Nothing major at all though. I am not one for pillar gauges, but I was very pleased with how it turned out as far as looks goes...just take your time. If it was me though, I would spend more money for the full replacment pillar and also for some better gauges, but it all just depends on your purpose. Laters.
