looking for ideas on how to best mount an aftermarket tach in my car. I would like to go with an autometer phantom tach to match the rest of my gauges, but i'm unsure of the best position or way to mount it

68-68 dashes have the best looks for this. I did the same in my 68 RS some 18 years ago.

Id like to see some 69 pics, i dont know if i car for the look of colvins dash

Nothing fancy, but it works for me.

that looks real sharp. Makes me jealous of the 68 dash. :thumbsup:

I have a 69 as well and would love to see some dashes. Unfortunately the only one I seem to like is the DSE one, and its pricey for what it is IMO. :o

this picture is from a member here, importkiller69ss
He installed 5" autometer gauges in his stock dash I believe

Not in the car yet, but with Stewart Warner 3-3/8" tach and speedo with 2-1/16 fuel gauge in the center:

Here's a few pictures of the 5" AutoMeter Phantoms I put in my car. Sorry about the picture quality. I took these a while back right after I had installed them and and they were the only pictures I had handy. They were mounted from the rear with a custom bracket set up. I also made the filler panels that go around them. The bowtie has an LED behind it that lights with the highbeams. There are directionals on wither side of it but they are not visable when not lit. The are also LED's.

I did mine 15 years ago before they started making aftermarket dashes.

Hey Mike, I'm with you - mine is up on the dash pad also- if you're racing much easier to see with the tach there

This is for my 67. Sorry no pics of it in the car yet.

This takes the Autometers and they fit like gloves.

Contact Matt at Anvil Auto (sponcer) I have no idea what the cost is.

The Sun Tach and hose clamp has been on the car since I got it in 79.
I always look for tachs mounted like this at car shows, it was the style at the time. Much like an onion on your belt.
