I like it, minus the giant hose clamp.
 You can get aircraft clamps without all the little ribs, or you can paint that one black. They also sell nylon clamps that will work as well.

Heavy duty double sided tape will do the trick will look really clean too. It wont scratch up your column either.

Re: Finally got my Tachometer Installed! take it a look!
It's weird that half of labels are in Spanish and metric and the other half is in English. were all Mexican Chevys bilingual?

Re: Finally got my Tachometer Installed! take it a look!
Looks like it is time to upgrade the gauge lighting... your tach kind of over powers the others.
Looks good though.
