Default SPP A Pillar Install Question....please help!

I've installed everything perfectly ( i think ) , one thing that bother's me about the install is how the 60 mm Omori rests in the A pillar. Has anyone found a decent way of mounting the gauge in the pillar? I tried pushing the gauge into the pod so it was snug but it pushed completely into the pod...the other way i had it the gauge's black metal bezel was sticking out and the gauge was completely loose. Any quick remedies? TIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Default you could run some electrical tape around the gauge cylinder, that

would help build up the diameter so it fits snuggly inside the pod

Default I returned my SPP pod because of the same reason...

That was about 8 months ago, I would have figured they would have come up with a "real" 60mm pod instead of the oversized autometer pod they have been using.

Many layers of electrical tape looks great, and works for just such an occasion.
