HUD install

I am currently installing HUD in my 2000 and I am stuck on what type of screws to secure the projector in the dash with. Does anyone out there have any ideas? I drilled the two holes for the tabs near the windshield but I am not sure what to secure it with.

Well don't use OEM as mine broke a couple months ago and I'm dreading fixing it.

All went well thanks guys! I used 2 #6 sheet metal salf driiling screws. They are only 5/8"ths long though and I was thinking of switching to 3/4"ths to make sure it is secure. Also used some nylon washers because of the vibrations incurred through driving. Thanks again!
