Is there a way to install a 5" tach with shift light inside a fox body without drilling holes in the dash ? It won't fit around the steering column. I'll drill if I have to but thought maybe someone had a secret. Any pic's ?

Pretty sure you gotta drill, or duct tape the crap out of it. One of the two...

Not sure how that one bezel from Autometer mounts... it carries a 5" tach and two other guages.. might check into that?

I screwed mine to the gauge bezel but didn't want to. But then I thought they are easy to find at a junk yard incase I ever take the tach out.
