No, the bracket(s) come predrilled. The brackets (one for the dash, one for the column) in the new Sunpro retro tachs are identical to the originals.

If you want to know more about Sun tachs, here's another link:

Re: looking for pics of tachs mounted on the dash before i purchase my truck is a 65

Here's a pic of mine with the the big 5" monster tach. Not quite my taste; it was in the truck when I bought it. It has been used as a speedo as well

I did just find an original old sun tach at a junk yard (similar to the one markeb01 has pictured)

Hoping to have it sent out and tested, and and have the control box updated for my ignition as well
