Bill | | | | | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 693 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 693 | i finished my little ashtray -> tach project. i installed a tiny tach + hourmeter into a spare ashtray to leave the dash of my 56 unmolested and for easy return to OEM for showing. just need to tack the gauge flush to the ashtray with a little epoxy and pop the whole assembly in (then wire of course). i thought it came out pretty well. pic here: http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff419/tomctomc/tinytach.jpg | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 687 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 687 | | | |
