Default Need details on how to mount tach!!!!

I'm planning on mounting it on the dash above the center AC vent. I'm not sure if I should use self tapping screws or try to get a bolt and a nut in there some how. Let me know the best way to do it. It looks like the AC duct will not come out so I'm not sure if I can get a bolt and nut to work since its a tight fit. Thanks alot.

Steve

Although i did not mount my tach in the same place as you want to do yours (I mounted it all the way to the left), this is what i did: Autometer 5" silver Tach, the base comes with 2 bolt openings, i screwed in 2 bolts with a drill into my dash(not that bad looking), and then when i was ready to mount it i put superglue on the base and just held it down for a couple mins, then i finally screwed it down. Fits perfect, looks good IMO. Sorry i got no pics... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
