Default Tach Mount Suggestions

I have an 85 Coupe and I'm mounting an Autometer 5 inch Sport Comp Tachometer with Shift light. I can't figure out the best place to mount the Tach. Suggestions? Pictures?

lol. If you feel like it, I would mount a tach on the roof, mimicking the rear view mirror.

I don't get why some people like to hate on the 5" tachs, they aren't that big.
