Re: Project: Autometer
Eric, are you going to mount them on the backside like Mike did, or another way?

Re: Project: Autometer
Very good job, Eric! Looks real slick mounted like that. How are you physically mounting them?

Re: Project: Autometer
Always wanted to do that with mine, instead of installing them from the front like most do.

Re: Project: Autometer
I've always wondered why all of Autometer's 5 inch tachs are 10,000 RPM. You can get a 8,000 RPM monster tach in Autogage, but not Autometer.

Re: Project: Autometer
I know in Mike's application the speed control wouldn't work with the mechanical speedo. Is the elec speedo compatible with our trucks?
Thanks, Chris |

if you get a mechanical speedo you just have to buy a new threaded speedo cable. if you convert to electric like mine, you have to buy an expensive sender that goes in place of the cable. |
