Diesel Gauge Cluster Project

I am starting to see a lot more interest in diesel swaps in these trucks and with that, there is a lot of interest in the diesel tach clusters. Seeing how they are pretty hard to find, I came up with an idea and decided i'd see how it looked. I came across a mechanical tach from a project I had a while back and decided I thought I could make it work in a 67-72 cluster. This is how it has turned out so far. This is just a rough design and I'm still working on the printed circuit. Hopefully I can find more of these tachs and see about building more clusters. These are ran by a speedometer cable and aren't electronic. I'm going to try to dig something up for an electronic version as well. Tell me what you think. I'm not in love with the white lettering. To me it looks a little out of place, but I might be able to get that painted over. IDK though.
