A-pillar Intstall ?
Hey guys I have my gauges installed, but I have been waiting for weeks for my buddy to get my pillar painted. I was wondering if anybody knew how to mount a triple pillar pod by Autometer. I dont know how to attach it. I dont want to put screws where they are seen if ya know what I mean.

I did the install on my dual-pod pillar from Autometer, and it was pretty straight forward. You basically drill the holes for the little plastic "screws" , and go to town. What I did , was place the screws where the weatherstripping would somewhat hide them, doesnt look to bad.
Another idea is to paint the plastic screws the same color as your pillar , so you wouldn't see them as much as if they were factory black....

Be cautious about using hot glue. I did this and here in Northern California the summer heat can get to 110 degrees. That makes the inside cab temps way hot. This was partly my fault because I used more glue than I should, but one very hot day it started to run, and it was a pain to clean up. I elected to take the glue off, drilled the holes and use the black push in tabs instead. I like Joeboost's idea of painting them the same color as the pillar. May just pull them back out and do that.
