Those of you with an autometer 5" tach, how did you attach it to the dash? I know I can screw/bolt it down but I don't really want to put a hole in the dash. I tried velcro but it still wobbled some. Any ideas???

u could try some 2 sided tape or some 2 part epoxy. Or maby try and screw it to something that you can change easy and get from the scrap yard.

I was trying to figure out how I was going to do this as well. I was thinking that I could just make a bracket that goes behind one of that pads on the front of the dash and just holds it in place where I want it. I was going to work on it tomorrow I will let you guys know if I have any luck.

I used this tach bracket from UPR in my 95, maybe you could find a way to mount it in a Fox. Mine is held on by the two bolts that hold the HVAC panel to the dash.

Could also check out the Autometer Tach pod. Not sure if it involves anything more than 3m tape.

Well I went out and got 3m double sided foam tape and it worked. I thought my velcro strips were as strong as 3m but I guess not.
