Re: Need a tachometer
 

8 bills would probably cover a custom cut panel and all new Farias at the very least, or maybe even Gaffrig or other quality dry guages. Too Old or another vendor here can probably hook you up with discount pricing on the guages. Axa can probably hook you up with the dude who did his panel...laser engraved and all. I would think about this 1st...before doing anything. Stay with a black panel and black (Faria), or maybe platinum/silver/chrome (other vendor, there are many) guage bezels. The guage bezels themselves are available in a variety of contours from a number of manufacturers. My 2 cents.

Dave if you decide to go with other Gauges let me know I might be interested ...I would like to leave it stock but it really sucks at nite ..can barely see the Gauges ...Someone posted (you?) that they swapped out all the bulbs and it didn't improve it .....

Re: Need a tachometer
 

offthefront . . . that was me. All new bulbs- $60 worth at a discount -and no improvement. I will be swapping panel and quages out this winter. And while I am on the subject, who/where is the source for a panel and how many of the sending units have to be swapped if anyone out there has done this? Would like to go with autometer or gaffrig.

Bad,
If it's the same as mine, I'll take it. Does it have the square black bezel?

Re: Need a tachometer
 

Here is the tach. The bezels just fit over the guage. I kept them for my new guages...

If you had a digital cam there Homer, we would have seen the dirty pics by now, and your tach needs could be made clearer. :rolleyes:
