Getting ready to install Autometer gauges(oil press.+air/fuel ratio)on an Autometer A-pillar;have all the fittings,and everything!
Reading Autometer instructions,they want me to install the A-pillar,over the OEM one,and drill 4 holes,and hold it with 4 plastic "snaps"(supplied).Not too keen on drilling holes,just in case,I want to go back to stock.
I know,some of you removed the OEM,and install the A-pillar(SOS,i think,in X-viper FAQs),in it's place;How do you hold it There???
Thank's.
Emil.

 

Is the Autometer pillar a full size? That is, does it completely cover the existing pillar trim? The SOS gauge pillar pod has a screw hole at the very top and you screw it into the small overlap with the top trim piece. Then a black plastic cap fits over the screw head to make it blend in.

You can see that hole here:


If I ever go back to stock, the old trim will fit over the hole.

 

Yes,it's a full A-pillar,and it's the exact same size as the OEM;covers it perfectly,even has the heating duct cut out,but there's no pin to hold it,as the oem.
They say to install it over the OEM,drill 4,holes,3/16",(2 would be enough,I think)and insert the plastic snaps.(Nice piece,and the black "snaps"would blend in o.k.,I just don't like drilling holes!)
I'll see if I can screw it in the top overlap piece,like you did.
