^Why you wanna do that? :shock:

Make sure and buy a used cluster to chap up eh...

I belive Autometer makes Tachs an Speedos that can be used to custom fab ur own gauge cluster tho...if u wanna try dat kinda ting.

^^ thaz what i wanted to do
but i want to keep the lights on the gauge cluster for like the sensors or whatever
i trying to see if i cud shove the old cluster somewhere in the dash and run wires up to the fabbed cluster and put lights there for everything
but i dont think all that really worth it
cuz all i really want is the accuracy of a beautiful autometer tach

redsupra101, you tryin to keep it stealth or wah :lol:

Well you could buy something smaller than the 5" tach and see if it could fit within de cluster but infront the old tach. OR you could condemn the drivers side A/C vent an mount it there.

Listen, with a civic (doh know what car you have) all you have to do is take out two screws at the back of the cluster and the tach pops out. if you have the right size aftermarket tach, I don not see why this cannot replace a stock one. I suspect it may be similar for your car, take out the cluster and look at the screws at the back and see if you cant do this. And an aftermarket tach is easy to wire up.

Soooo yuh just may have to fabricate a trim ring out of plexi or MDF or something and yuh good to go. Sounds like a cool project.
