Tachometer Mount

I will be fabricating a bracket for my tach, but that's a ways out for me.

 

I didn't want to drill any new holes in my dash so I just used one of the existing ones to the left of the steering column. I'll try to take a pic later and add it.

 

Use a two piece shaft collar sized for the column. Drill and tap the face of the collar and bolt on the remainder of the existing mount.

 

I would just get a new tach. They are not all that costly to begin with.

 

That depends on the Tach. I have a 6000rpm Dixco to put in my Willys when I get that far. I have seen them sell for upwards of $300 on the HAMB forum. Classic Tachs can be very collectable.

A vintage Sun Super Tach can run 50 to 200.00 on ebay depending on condition and vintage.

 

I might have one I can throw in a flat rate box if you'd want it. I'll check tomorrow.

 

Finally remembered to snap of my tach and mount.

 

If you don't find a better way, this is yours if you want it. Just the mount, or the whole tach too. I don't think the tach works, but it could have been wired incorrectly. It maxed out at 1500 rpm when it was on MM.

 

No wonder it took you so long to deive across the country, only turning 1500... that is like 30mph right?

 

30? Or 130?
The world may never know...

 

I appreciate the offer, but I think I'm going to go with an AutoMeter similar to the one pictured above.
Better tach with a much more robust mount.

 

My decision was based on the realistic rpm range of the F134. With the Pertronix I get some flutter at times and got the kit from them to minimize it but have not done it yet.
