Anybody have a "How To" on tach install
I'm interested in placing an aftermarket tach in the bezel where the just the outer chrome ring sticks out. I'm not sure the best way to cut up the lense and metal to do it. Any pics or pointers would help. Thanks

I figured I would have to use metal shears to cut thru both front and back metal housings but wasn't sure if there was a dremel attachment or something to cut a circle in the lense.

I don't have any pictures, but I used a dremal to cut the lens, I just cut it out the same diamiter of the opening, I also hacked up the back of the dash so my tach would fit. Granted it was like 2 years ago and I did a crapy job.
 Looks good from the front, but god forbid if someone looked under the dash  Good luck man, just take your time.
