Default Tach

Do they make a Tach to go in the dash of a 67 in the oil and alt spot I mounted external guages for them so they arent being used. I would like a tach but I don't like the hose clamp to the steering wheel idea. Thanks

I'm not sure what the whole dimensions on a 67 are but I'm guessing there about 2-2 1/16. Auto Meter as a couple of mini tachs that size.

Your easiest solution is a mini-tach that goes into the clock hole.

Option 2: I seeoriginal tachs on ebay every now and then.

Other than that, you'll have to modify a 5" tach and your bezel (a lot)to get something else to work. This seems to be the "in" thing to do these days. I went to the annual Austin Mustang Owners show last weekend. 1/3 of the 67-68 models had after-market gauges behind their stock bezels (including mine).

Ifyou're interested in building your own, this guy did a great how-to write-up:

2 3/8" gauges look better in the three smaller holes than the 2 1/6.

Very nice, I think I see a future project after I cool down from this engine. Very nice dash by the way.

They do make a mini tach that goes where the open spot in the panel goes.
