the sponsors on here (sponsors section of for sale) can sell you what you need.

can you replace the clock with a guage? that could look better than on there. Is a bit of a hot spot for theives where you want it

prosport make a very nice blackface(or smoked or whatever) 2" tacho and you can select two diffrent colours for the back light depending on how you wire it up. not too expensive around $100-$130 i think at repco

I agree with the clock thing, it'll look more tidy aswell.

I like how you drew your tach at redline :twisted:
