Where do people fit tachos onto their dashes?
Not including where the clock, or original tacho goes.
Anyone got any pictures??

Most people I see who have them mount them next to the driver's side windcreen pillar, on the steering column with a large hose clamp or in the middle of the dash (although I think that's a bit tacky).

Just seeing that pic with a 8500rpm redline, started me thinking about scatter cages/shields whatever they are called, are there many on this site that have them installed? (They are shields to stop the flywheel and clutch cutting through your legs if the fracture at high rpm)
