ideas for mounting tach

Alright, I just got my new gauges, and I was wondering if anyone has some pics of a 5" tach mounted anywhere other than the normal spot to the left (by the a-pillar). Even if you don't have pics, I'll take some suggestions.

Well i have a TA but i have mine mounted on the ring around the gauge cluster. My friend has a camaro and has it mounted in the middle of the dash.

Hmmm, that's pretty cool. Did you just fab a bracket to mount it to? And I could avoid drilling any holes in the dash. Thanks.

i made the bracket, i removed the vent and drilled two holes to mount the bracket and then put the vent back on. its very easy to do and you can't see the wires at all.

I've seen them mounted by the a-pillar, on the steering column, on top of the dash (over where the three vent locations are) and now where Moparnos mounted his. I personally like them over top of the vent locations but everyone has a different opinion. It comes down to where you like them at and where it's easiest for you to see.
