black "self tapping" screws. They're about .5 inch long. Probably at any local hardware store.

Is there a cleaner-looking alternative? Has anyone tried the double-sticky tape?

you can use double sided tape, but there will still be 4 holes on it. I used 3m tape and screws, to make sure its a little harder for theives to get off.

There is not much room for tape IMO. Just use some rivets. Don't even think about using screws unless you want it stolen.

You must have purchased it used cause the real kits come with everything.
