The speedometer and fuel gauge are off-center in the downward direction for this same reason, so it makes sense to have the tach mounted the same way. Here are before and after photos.

That is the other thing that bothered me when I installed the 4K diesel tach with the aftermarket 8K lens. I planned on lowering the tach in the opening and a smidge to the left to Center the tach’s view while sitting in the truck. I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed this detail.
