Default Autometer tach, where to mount?

Just wanted to see if any CRX owners have an Autometer Tach on their ride and where have they mounted it at? I have a B16 in my CRX so I need this tach in my car since the redline is obviously different. So if you have pics, can you post them please? Thanks guys...

I put mine on the right of the gauge cluster thing. Hold on, I'll take a pic for you.


You can also see it in the vid in my signature. Look in the lower left corner of the screen, you'll see it so you get an idea.

Thanks for the pic! Pretty creative, but how did you mount it? Just with the 2 screws? I would be afraid that it would break off....

Yes, just the two screws. Don't worry about it breaking off, I'm slammed on eBay coilovers and bottom out all the dam time. Sits there solid

Thanks for the pic Breaka, I'm trying to find out where to mount mine, I'm just afraid someone might try and break my window to get my tach...

Redline on my stock Tach is much something like 6800, redline for my motor is 8200, plus I have the tach that comes with the shift light, therefore I don't even need to look at the tach, once I see the light I can shift....

Here's mine. Easy to install there, and the shiftlight is in your direct line of vision.

Mount it on your steering colum HOT ROD Style so it sits right in front of you stock tach. It's not going to be <U>AS VISIBLE </U> as it would be up on your dash.

Myself, I just bought a GSR Cluster and external shift light(haven't got around to putting the shift light on yet) But I'm gonna put it on the cluster cover.

GOOD LUCK

Like I said, I already have one, I like to be able to adjust the shift light to go off when I want it to. Plus I do not have to look at my tach while I'm driving.... Besides, it's my car not yours...
