Default Small Tach....?

Does anyone make a Tachometer that would fit in a Trans Am AC vent? I don't want a huge tach and have to mount it on my dash or in front of my existing gauge cluster. I just ordered a Raptor Shift light that I am going to put in the little vent hole and wondering if there is a tach that I could put in the AC vent below that!

Why would you want a small one if you already have one in your gauges the point of a big one is so you can see it isnt it? Well that and its more accurate but with a shift light you don't really need one

Sun made one, but I think it was like 2 1/8. If you have the shift light, don't worry about a tach. The stock one will work pretty good.

Holy crap at the amount of people quick to offer an un-asked for opinion and not offer an answer to the actual question!!!

To ANSWER your question, yes.

I just tried to post a link but it's not working. So, go to summitracing.com and search for tachometer.

I found 8 that are 2 5/8" and 39 that are 2 1/16"

One example:

thank you demonbird. Maybe it is what I want..... I may not do it just wanting to know if there is one just in case I want to. Everyone has their own likes/dislikes and I didn't ask for an opinion, I asked for an answer.

i just installed my autometer 5 in. with shift light in my car this past week because it was just lying around. Put it on the A-pillar. I set the shift light for 6300 because that is what the computer shifts the car at.
