Post by: VileZambonie on October 27, 2010, 07:18:48 pm: I prefer the in dash tach. Not a fan of the tach mounted on the dash but this is where I used to always mount mine before I got sick of looking at them

Post by: Grim 82 on October 28, 2010, 03:16:27 pm: I have mine on the top d/s dash, attached with the lower screw for the A-pillar trim, but I caution you that this interferes with the defroster's ability to keep the side window clear.

Post by: Bodyswap on December 21, 2010, 04:27:43 pm: I usually attach it to the steering column with a huge hose clamp. In my new project I am going to get a new bezel from corvan's classics, I think, and install all new aftermarket gauges in the dash where they belong.
