Question Idiot light cluster and Tach?

Has anyone ever put a tach in the three hole gauge cluster? If so, what do you do with the blinkers?

Small leds would work.

I used some small lights from radio shack that you drill a hole and they snap in. Give me a few and I'll go snap a pic.

Here you go! I know I have gauges at the bottom, but it started life as a 3-hole cluster.

Re: Idiot light cluster and Tach?

Actually, this was supposed to be a "temporary" (3 years now) thing, so we stripped the wires (I guess that's what you would call them) on the printed circuit board on the back of the cluster and soldered wires directly to there. They have't given me any problems since I've put them in, of course I never took the cluster out for anything yet either.
