Tachometer

Post by Gilesie »

OK I have got rid of some junk and now I am going to start on the truck
The only thing that I dislike about it is the factory dashboard.
What I need is a Tacho.
Over here we never had any sport models so there for no tacho`s.
so I was wondering if you guys had anything simular to my speedo in your trucks.
On the face it is 3 3/4 inches edge to edge on the front & 3 3/8 in the main body.

3 3/8" is a standard instrument size. But don't the instruments read right to left down there?

:shame
They are actually a metric measurement, I just put it to the closest imperial for simplicity.
Having said that I am very interested in a tacho and I am hopeing that you guys can help me out.
