Default Installing an additional tach

OK this may sound kind of dorky but...I'd like to add a small tach to my dashboard. (The CDI factor is high) I am looking at the AutoMeter's since they have the smallertachs as well as the normal five inchers...and it will match my pillar guages as well.

My questions are:
1. Anybody know of a tach bracket for the 2006 GT's?
2. Which tach adapter seems to work best? I think Ford makes one but I'm not sure.
I appreciate the help.

Stay safe.[sm=thanx.gif]

I have a shift light that was made by Autometer that has a digital tach readout. I mounted it on a 3 gauge pod a-pillar. You might want to look into something like that.

I almost installed a aftermarket tach myself boughta the tach andbought the tach driver from FRPP but decided not go with it and took the tach backand just went witha Raptor instead. The pics below are of it mocked up with the tach wire just loose stuffed and aroundthe gauges I think the tach looked pretty good their imo. I was going to run the tach wire (wrapped with a piece of black armor)straight back to the front windshield and then goes out of sight behind the dash.

You could buy the tach driver from Ford FRPPor if your interested I still have mine (no returns on elect to Ford) never installed $50.00 shipped also very easy to install.
