Pettit Steering Column Gauge Mount
I installed this thing over the weekend and there is nothing to attach it to the lower steering wheel piece. It just kind of sits there. Anyone used this gauge mount before or have any sugestions to sevure it? Its a nice looking piece but I can't have it just sitting there, for what they charge for this thing I would expect a better solution. Thanks!

I believe thats how the new ones are. They are knock off RE's. I have one as well, except mine has tabs. I have heard MANY people say that these new ones don't (new being over a year ago till now).
Most common way to fix that is via velcrow.

Its better than having to sand and glue a knock off together, all you need to do is trim the side so the stalks fit properly. My defi d-gauge fits perfectly.

Works great for me. Just use a little dab of black silicon on the tabs and squeeze together with thick rubber bands for a few days. Has not fallen off in over 2 years and looks great. People think it's stock...

I noticed it sits up a little higher than the upper stock piece, has anyone tried to trim about a 1/4 inch off along the bottom to try and lower it. Looks like that would pretty hard to do and still have it line up corectly.
