Default AUTOMETER TACH HELP



I'm planning of buying the 3 3/4" tach pictured above. I want to get some feedbacks from people who use the same or similar size tach. I was going to buy a monster 5" tach but it's on the way of my vision and plus I dont want its mounting to be sloppy since I have a triple gauge pod.

Is there such a pod/cup that covers the wiring on the back of the tach for a cleaner look? I've seen one of those before but I'm not sure if they exist on the 3 3/4s tachs.

You can just run the wires th rough some shrink wrap (not the kind your parents use tho) then when the install is done and your happy with the placement if tach...you just take a lighter to the wrap and it looks alot cleaner than having some ugly wires hangin all about...we did this on my buddy's CRX.
