What Do You Think ?

Had a 2" Autometer tach lying around and a junk clock that I found on ebay. I will fill the clock stem hole.

Looks Great.  You may have come up with a new product.

Nice job....if you rev it over 5G's, will an alarm go off? Never mind..how stupid of me, those were not alarm clocks.

Great idea!

Are you going to mount it where the clock normally goes?

That's kinda far over to the right(?)

[petew]

Yup it will be going in the clock space and it is a little far to the right. I want a tach but considering that it is monitoring a bone stock 312 I really don't need one. So this gives me one that i can peek over at to see idle and cruise RPM's when I get curious. I guess you could say it's better than nothing . Kind of a challenge to see where I could hide it !

Been playing with it a little more , blacked out the Autometer logo to try and clean it up a little .

I would fill the hole with an LED to indicate red line! Very nice job! I have an extra clock in my parts bin i think i might just copy your efforts!

Go for it, sure was easy to do . The tach is an Autometer Z series part # 2697 for the 5000 and 2698 for the 8000 rpm version. Good idea with the LED but I put the stem back for now.
