joshbmx Member 64 Member For: 17y 1m 3d Posted 13/06/08 04:26 AM Share Posted 13/06/08 04:26 AM I have aquired a monster tacho and just wanting opinions..... I probably wont put it in as 1: theres nowhere to fit it where it will be legal and look ok2. there a bit of a tug tug especially because we already have tacho's in the dashalso a shift light wouldnt be a bad idea are we able to just hook one of them up????

(no idea how it works though).cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/46625-autometer-5inch-tachos/#findComment-692684 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased one of these myself (below) but with a Blue lens kit, as I find it much less obtrusive than the big ass Tacho.
