Small tach
 

I am thinking of adding a tach to my truck but do not want one on the dash or the column. Has anybody ever found one that will fit in one of the small holes in the cluster? Any other ideas?

Thanks

Auto Meter makes one #2698. Bought one, fits in the cluster. Going to put it in the clock spot where there is no clock.

I saw someone mention this is another thread. It looks like what I am interested in. It mounts where the big fuel gauge goes.

Here's my install story for the combo gauge.

Note that they have a version with the old typeface if that's what you need. You have to ask for it.

I put one behind the lower bottom section of the cluster....

How hard was it to install? Did you just slide it in? Do you clamp it from the back side? Or does the bezel hold it in?

It does take some work to get it in there. I had to cut out the back of the cluster to allow room for the whole tach housing. Then used some metal strips and bent them enough to position the tach correctly. Then I had to also carefully cut out the bubble, clear plastic part of the cluster that covers the gauges too.

The glass from the tach sits flush with the outermost gauge bezel and looks nice. Just a lot of trial and error to get it all looking good and mounted securely. I may have more pictures at home....

Some more close up shots....

It is just slightly off center so that when you view it from the drive's head position, the whole gauge is visible and looks centered at that vantage point.
