Looking good fellas, think Im wanting a large dash mount with shifter light. Any recomdations or no goes? Cables run from coil under bus thru cab floor and up thru dash or have i missed something? Then again do I want to drill the dash top :? Maybe Neds sneaky install will suit?

[slammedresto]

in my old westy i fitted mine to dash top, just used the original speaker grill holes from memory, no cutting or drilling required

I had this dilema for ages wanted a 5" monster tach but the only one i could find going to 8k (thought 10K would leave to many numbers not used) is autometer sport comp around £180. Sunpro ones are half the price look as good but go to 10k. Then seen the mooneyes half sweep one and quite like that but its only 3.5" so thought to small. seen a guy a the diner meet with one on his steerring column and didnt look to small at all. New can of worms as now i know 3.5" ones look ok :? :?

holes in autometer bracket line up with speaker hole at correct angle as well,dont need to drill hole for wires as will fit through existing larger hole torards screen behind grille.only need to run 1 wire from rear ,green from coil neg,ign live pick up from fuse box

Ah thanks. Haven't been on the forums much over xmas (been working on the bus), so I have missed this news in the 'scene'.

Looks great! Love the photography and style so far from what I've seen. Reminds me of the real reason I got into old VWs. Nicely done sir.

:mrgreen:

(Sorry for thread hi-jack :x )
I'll give you a shout about advertising / sponsorship soon too.

Mine is the same as this, easy fitting and looks the shiz 8)

Heard a rumour some repro original looking VDO tachs are coming out soon which will fit right into the spare gauge pod.

Worth hanging out for in my opinion.
