Default gauge install

I was looking at all my gauges and was wondering how to secure them in the pod. There is no room for the screw method, so I was wondering what everyone else does to secure these in place.

By the way, I am using the SOS 3 gauge pillar.

I tried both of the auto meters, and it works great, but the aeroforce is very loose :/

Whats the best way to secure it?

Black electrical tape (3M prefered) and wrap the case
until the desired Outside Diameter is obtained to get a
good tight fit in the guage pod.
