the switch is for the t brake, it's permantly mounted to that bracket which is a piece of angle aluminum that is drilled for the switch. very simple to make

Point of the extra tach is that the stock tach is slow. For example when I am really getting into it, my stock tach will register about 200 rpms less
than my Autometer Tach as the rpms are rising quickly. This can be a problem if you're shifting as close to redline or as close to the rev limiter as possible. The other point is this and my tach both have a shift light which means you don't have to watch the tach to know when to shift, just see the light!!

Nice mounting job. I have the same laptop,lol. Im going to mount my tach on the right corner of the gauge cluster on the ring. I have a flip out screen in mine so where you have it it will hit.
