Re: Adding a tach

Tach housing and a nontach housing are different though. I guess you can dremel and glue and duct tape.

Re: Adding a tach

You can also use one that came with a clock.

Re: Adding a tach

The one for the clock does not have the connections for the fuel gauge to hook up to the printed circuit. The clock is wired separately from the actual cluster thus they had no pins for connections.

Re: Adding a tach

Correct, that is why you make small jumper wires to go from the original location to the clock position. It is alot easier than it sounds, I used about 4 different clusters to build my tach cluster.
