screws for a-pillar gauges question
 
Ok just wondering. My triple gauge pod pillar didnt come with any screws so I have to put some screws in myself.... Just wondering how long of screws should I use? and are there any precautions I should take when drilling into the pillar? like are there any wires in the pillar or structural damage i can do by drilling into it?

Well, I'm putting a triple gauge pod in my car right now and I'm attaching the gauge pod to the stock A-pillar piece with three small screws with screw caps to hid the screw.

Including the head, they are about 1/2 inch.

Well, if you drill into the pillar (behind the trim). Be careful not the cut into the drain hose. There is a hose in there for the antenna and moon/sun roof.

00IntegraLS: google it;)
