Tach Mount Fabrication
Well after looking at the instructions for my new tach I didn't like the idea of drilling holes into my newly painted dash. I did a little search here on FABO and found a few ideas and pictures. This is what I came up with and it beats paying $60. This was from some left over scrap sheetmetal. It came out pretty good. This is the rough bracket. This design may work better for the later a-bodies and such. It seems pretty stiff since I have the flat metal piece as far as it will go into the dash pad.
Template using the small bracket as a guide that came with the tach
Paper cutout to judge where to bend the bracket
Bent
Mock up in the parts car
This is the view where I think it stick out too far. I believe I will modify it some.
Hope you guys enjoy this one. It was really too easy. :salute:
