I still haven't messed with mine more but I don't like the way it moves up when the shift lever hits it going into park. I don't really want to drill into the steering column to fasten it but maybe I have to.
Means you had your column apart George, where would be the best place to drill it? I really don't want to drill into something important.

i would pull the wheel and drill into the front so the pins would be hidden. other than that unless you are really leaning on the drill, i dont think there is anthin to hurt by the shifter. the other side has the muti function switch wires

Copy, there's really nothing under there you can hurt unless you go REALLY nuts with the drill. It's pretty easy to pop the top cover off so you can work with it easier.

this is an old thread, I didnt remember it. BTW WELCOME TO FTE.
Yes:
Autometer Steering Column Gauge Mounts at DieselManor
When I Installed it, it was moving, but instead of drill or anything else, I put a couple of drops of cyanoacrilato (spl?) between the pod and the stock cover 
and no more movement, or maybe you can use the doble faced tape instead.
