73-87 Pillar Pod final questions

Last and final questions before the pillars are signed of for production...

You can see all the progress on these here, skip to the end if you want the latest.

1) currently these are sized to fit Autometer gauges of 2-1/16, that means others won't slip in and be tension held. Should I make is smaller and have a step in it on where to trim to for the Autometers or just make it fit Autometer and anyone using other generic gauges have to use the clamp set? (many people don't clamp these)
2) Is everyone going to be drilling holes in their pillar to route the wiring/hoses? What is your plans on routing?
3) How is everyone planning on attaching these? What is you plan on attaching these?


I am ready to fire the trigger on this and this is how I planned to go about it, but feedback is welcome. I cannot accomodate everyones wishes though.
1) make it fit the Autometer body
2) drill a pass through hole if required in the pillar or for wiring wrap it under
3) I plan to permanently mount mine with either epoxy or plastic weld.
