Found the tins and the tach at the junk yard. Added them to my other gauges, bought a new housing from Brothers and brand new bulbs.

This would be my first choice.

Anyone do an exterior tach?

Here's a pic I took of one at the junk yard that looked pretty decent for a non factory one. Pritch ended up buying the cluster, and could probably give you more details

This works ok for me. Just so you don't think I butchered my dash, the holes were already there thanks to the previous owner. Just had to enlarge one a bit. The cup tach is mounted in is fully adjustable, but too expensive.

Timely thread. I just picked up a couple of old tachs to choose from. Keep the pics coming!

Looks awesome! Where did you pick up the bezel from? And do the gauges come separately?

the gauges are all autometer and the bezel is from Covan. It was put togehter by my best friend and it has a harness plug that connects to the main harness meaning that if it needs to be taken off just unplug it and it comes out as a whole..

$20 off amazon and a zip tie

Had this one kicking around. Put it in the dash by cutting up the "numbers plate. Not for everybody. But that's the way I did it.

Kinda looks like it was mounted into the center stock location, this would require cutting the lens and metal faceplate, maybe even the backing plate too? Humm....

Ok I fess up, that's what i did, it looks pretty clean and it works fine, but 15 years later i kinda wish i hadn't done it.
