tach mounting bracket

[Final5pt0]

ok guys another ? ... i was thinking of putting a tach in my car but i want to avoid mutilating my dash as much as possible, i was looking around and came across a tach mounting bracket by UPRproducts, i was wondering if anyones tried it, or uses it and if you do can ya post a pic?

i was also thinking of getting this bracket. i have heard of people having good success with this thing, provides a nice, clean install.

I got an extra stock clock, chopped it up for my tach. I can easily swap it back to the stock clock if I want. slick.

i just mounted mine to the dash with 2 tiny screws....the holes were small enough that they wouldnt stick out like a sore thumb if i took the tach off...

cool guys, i got a while yet before i buy a tach, good to see some cool ideas, anyone else got any others, or maybe a pic with the bracket i was wondering about?

Heres the bracket, only route I would go if I were to add a tach ever again. I got it from UPR.

i want to get this bracket but i was thinking since i have a gauge pod where the clock used to be it might obstruct the view of those gauges. is it possible to mount that bracket on the passenger side instead of the driver side.

sweet man, is it an easy install? and does the tach have to be angled up? or is that up to the driver?

 

[rgs]

i got one too, and i love it!!

and yes you can change the angle of the tach

thanks guys big help
one last thing about it, i was looking at an autometer lumar tach, this bolts right up to it?

 

[ProKiller]

no it won't mount on the passenger side. besides that would be so awkward to look at while your driving, let alone racing.

the mount is a little in the way of the guage pod, but its not that bad. i can see the guage on the right, the left one is partially obstructed. nothing i can't just tilt my head a half inch to the right and see clear.

 

[95cobraguy]

thanks prokiller for the clarification. i was also thinking of getting a smaller tach without a shift lite since i already have a shift lite so that should help as far as how much the clock gauge pod is obstructed from my view.

pro killer, nice guage set up

Matt ..... looks like you have the same seats as I do .... I think. As a matter of fact, that's the only other car I've seen on SN with them. Anyone else have them? ProKiller's looks similar.



ProKiller, that's great to know about the slight view obstruction, cause that how mine will eventually be set up. I figured it would prevent both clock pod gauges from being seen .... so thanks for clarifying that.

you mean the black seats with the gray in the middle, then the whole top? i got those if thats what you mean, i have sport upholstry seats

Well, they're like ProKiller's ..... except they are black on the sides at the bottom. Maybe his are, too ..... and I just can't tell from the pics. I believe they are called medium graphite sport seats. Maybe they're a fairly common seat ..... I just haven't seen pics of them on here before.
