LF pics of your aftermarket tach install on stock dash setup?

Wondering if anyone has any pics of a tach mounted on the stock dash, maybe towards the left on the top? Probably to bulky, just wondering.....

If your worried about it being too bulky, try looking at small tachs that you could fit in a pillar pod.

Would like more functionality than that though, large tach=easier to read in a pinch, and also a shift light, but I guess I could rig up a shift light set up with the stock tach, right?

thats what i have- bought a harlan shiftlight- its mounted in my AC vent pointed towards me. Wired to the PCM tach wire. works perfect for me, never really saw a need to have a big tach. I just set the shift light for couple hundred RPM's under where i want to shift to make up for reaction time

I managed to use a big hose clamp (covered in heat shrink), and put mine on the column.With the mini-shift lite, It just barely fit. It also covered the stock oil PSI Gage, but I have my Autometer in the pillar anyway.

I didn't like the visibilty issue with it on the LF, so I mounted mine on the RH side. I like it much better there.
