5" auto meter tach in stock location... pics inside...
ok everyone... well, i finally decided to move my monster tach.... i was originally gonna just ditch it all-together, but decided to try something first.... i figured it wouldnt work, but put the man hours in anyways to prove myself wrong....
it took me around 5 hours to do it and one hell of a headache... but it finally fit, and everything should work w/ no problem.... if soemthing doesnt work, ill throw it away and put a stock one back in.... but it turned out great in my opinion!
note...the stock tach has never worked, so i didnt just do this for ***** and giggles... it was either this, or have no tach!

Funtionality 1st. You could always go back and find a black one later. I wish the plexiglass on the front wouldn't be hacked as bad as it is either....maybe a little closer fit to the tach.

buy some cheap white gauges and replace the old ones..... thats the easiest fix
(i dont like it, although functional but if you bought white gauges it would match perfectly)

the white face guage thing isnt a bad idea... i never liked them (always thought of them as "ricey", but it would look better).... hell, they are only like $20, if i dont like em', ill throw them away...
thanx for the compliments guys... i figured this was gonna be an *** raping and as for the glass, its not set in stone whether it stays or not.... i dont really like the big hole in it, but i had to do it, and i was limited on my recources

I would put it on it's side (90*CCW turn)if you are using an aftermarket wheel.......I can't see the top of the STOCK tach with the MOMO wheel, so I assume it will make seeing this tach much harder

i think it looks good (better than no tach anyway).
maybe you should get some of the black rubber liner to go around that cut in the clear cover? That'd make it seem more professional(?)

Eh.... Tach..... over-rated... Listen- Feel the engine.... Stops pulling....shift gears... If you can't hear an engine screaming you should be driving an automatic anyway...
I like the look...

though I would have tried replacing the stock water temp/ oil pressure/ boost gauges first before the tach.
