What sort of tacho's are people using? Throw up some pics. I want to get rid of my boy racer Autometer Monster tach and fit something less <mod edit - i am sure he meant "north queensland bogan racer">.....

It will still be mounted on the steering colum and will need to be housed in a pod of some sort.

Post your pics!

I bought the TIM one in a pod from minispares. You could easily put it on the steering column

Some nice dash mounted ones around. I guess I'd need to find some type of pod to mount it to?

These little Autometer ones mount exactly the same as the 5in Monster Tach of currently got.

This one is dash mounted
