Does anyone know where I can get 4 short plastic nails to fasten my 2 gauge pod to the trim piece?

Thanks,

Jerry

I used black oxide finish washer-head self-drilling trim screws. They worked great, just get the shortest ones.

Those things don't hold. I used aluminum pop rivets and painted them to match the interior color.

From what I remember, I couldnt figure out how to not cut the factory piece so the wires and stuff could go under the dash. I just took original out and just used the pod. Just my.02

I had to disassemble the pod to troubleshoot a problem. The plastic nails tore apart upon disassembly. I called Autometer and threw a sh!tfit for such a poor design and not supplying extras. They sent me 20 or so in a envelope.... RT

Use small interior phillips head screws. They hold real well and look cool. You have to countersink the pod holes slightly for a flush fit. Paint the heads to match trim when done if you like.

Auto parts stores have them. I had to fix a bad connection and reinstall. What a pain!
