i like the tacho/shift light fitting into the top right corner of the dash surround at as much of a right angle as possible my positioning: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Not a fan of spending $500 on a too big tacho when I have a perfect working one in the dash. Too big but the shiftlight would be ok when ur thrashing it and are on the limit.

Too big but the shiftlight would be ok when ur thrashing it and are on the limit. good point, but $100 second hand is pretty decent. and, in my case anyway, the standard clocks that come in the dash dont do a very accurate job of displaying revs hehehehe

has anyone else ever bothered just spending the money on a gizmo shift light??? They're awesone.... has 3 stage LED's that you can set at any rpm you choose to shift at and it also has recall to tell you when you shifted..... and it hides away nicely!!

"interferes with legs", Glad they didnt see the shift light, might hav tryed "interferes with air!" wankers tryed to get me for anything. even tyres to fat. 235 that are no were near close to scrubbing with no load in the back.

haha thats gold "interfers with air" now i got my tach o in yesterday and i went with the right hand corner idea mine is lower than the dash and i dunno about this interfering with legs bull**** my dad has a vt ss with a trans brake coily type wire dangling down....i think he could get done for that too..? anyway my tacho doesnt work....i mean its getting power but the light doesnt come on and the arm doesnt move i can move it with the adjuster so its definetly getting power but?? anyone know the soloution? cheers Paul.

acutally just picked up a monstor tacho with shift light, as it's hard to watch the wolf tacho, I don't get how u guys mount it on the piller, doesn't that interfer with you view out the wind screen, I'm going to mount mine of the driver door near the mirror! keeps it in view, but not high enough to cause problems with blind spots, should have it finished tomorrow will put a picture up

mine... no tacho but thats all i need. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

here's mine i have just done

i've never seen that before

Same, but I just couldn't cut my door trims for that! So far, I think unknowen's is best. No need for another tacho, and a boost gague fits nice there with the shiftlight

its a door trim, no different to hacking up a dash but either way im very happy with where it is works great

Ive got mine mounted on the centre of the steering column. It's fully sik.

didn't realise i could run it off the wolf mmm meah tacho's in now, will try to get it to work of the wolf then

it runs from the negative terminal of the coil with the standard loom, if you have a different loom now, just wire it back to coil if you don't want to use a spare output on the wolf ecu.

have an msd as a coil now, i'm pretty sure it wouldn't be safe to run the negitve from the msd coil to my dash tacho

hey guys ya green wire goes to the brown wire with the red stripe that comes from your coil right? i got that right...i hope and ya red wire is supposed to got to orange or pink?? dunno that one and black is simple just whacked her onto the - neg on batt and the white wire well its supposed to be grey but? im going to run it to the grey wire behind the cig ligher for the light in there? but all i need to know is it orange or pink? is all that right?? cheers fellas when i get her working i'll post up a pic

true, do not run it off the coil if you use an MSD, run it from the tacho wire behind the dash. Trent your's looks very good, i like that alot, i like you have a shift light but no monster tacho, it is a stewart warner one i bought of Ollie (exhchaser) and i have it mounted on the steering column, very handy
