I just received the new jointer feather guard upgrade (555480) yesterday. It includes all of the needed hardware for installation.

You will need a 1/4"-28 tap and 7/32" (or #3) drill bit to drill a secondary hole in the jointer surface.

Thanks for the update...Drilling and tapping the hole should be no problem at all..
