Mounting aftermarket Tach...

[Na5.0HO]

So, I've got an aftermarket tachometer with came with the car and its' been mounted on the right side of the instrument pannel a.k.a. over the stereo with a velcro type thingy i dunno.

Neways, the velcro stuff can't seem to hold the Tach nemore when I floor it ... I've done a few mods since I bought the car.

So where does every have they're aftermarket tachometers mounted, what are your preferences, and how'd you mount... I don't want to crack my dash by just screwing it in if that's a precaution.

Thanx,
Jason

screw it in, thats the only place to put it short of getting an autometer dash pod....or if you have a roll bar....

Thats the same place I had mine mounted so i just screwed it in, put some wire loom over the wires and it was good to go.

I'm going to see about putting mine on the gage cluster cover behind the rear defrost and flasher swithes. My dash is a pristine 25th anniversary piece and I just cant see poking holes in it, especially if I get a full Autometer cluster down the road and have no need for an external tach.
