Hot Rods Where and how did you mount your tach?

....Thanks.

 

10,000 RPM tachs are just cool, Don!

 

....Especially the Don Garlits signature ones....

 

...Thanks, Steve. Funny story about how I got that tach. I bought the '40 from a good friend in January of 1990. The tach was in it when I bought it, in fact he had borrowed it from another mutual friend. I say borrowed because it was supposed to be returned if the car was ever to be sold. Needless to say, 32 years later I still have it. I'm thinking that the original owner has forgotten about it by now, but it did create a bit of tension between the two friends for a while.

 

Mounted mine under the dash on one of those cheap chrome panels. Little 2" one I bought years ago. It's more auxillary than "watch the RPM to shift", but it's very useful when doing a tune-up.

 

Nobody in the world has mounted a tach. like I did

Utilizing, locking out, heating, bending, cutting, welding, to the column shifter

 

Speed Boat speedo mount

 

Depends on how badly you want to see it when you're hammering the loud pedal and rowing the four speed.

 

In the dash, where it should be.

 

In the hot rod on the steering column



In the Altered straight ahead in line of sight



In the 62 Studebaker tow wagon in the old clock hole



In the banger, on the column

All very easy to see without being distracted.
