Default opinions on this tach?

I need a tach in my 69 mach1 and like the looks of this Sunpro and its cheap. Want to install it on th esteering column. Do you think the 3" one will be too big? Anyone use one of these or have their tach mounted on the steering column? If so, what size did you use and could you post a pic?

not a fan of steering colums straigh up tach, destroys the look of the car (apart from rally pacs which are made to suit)
maybe that link is better

The links are just showing JCW web site.

I agree with Kalli. I really want to get a rally pac for mine, but can't justify the cost of one right now. Right now I have this one from JCW that I think looks good. It looks like its a vintage tach.

If I had a 69 or 70, I would look for something like this.

Here is mine.

Do you have another link or pic of the tach your thinking about?

Sunpro reproduces the vintage type tach. Its cool. Its a bit pricey, but I bet you can find it cheaper from some place like Summit or Jegs or even Ebay.
