Can anyone tell me if there is any tach/rev gauge I can use that will fit into the oval dash grill. A friend of mine is going to sell me his oval dash grill with the hole in it for VDO clock/rev gauge, Can anybody tell me if there is any rev gauge that can fit in there that is 6v without me having to spend many 100$$$$$$$$ of dollars or pounds £££ being in the UK. I found a Web site called www.bobsgauges.com and he seems to have some quite nice ones but it does not state if it can be used with 6v. Also whats the size of the grill hole I asked my mate to measure it for me but he lives far away and is being lazy to get back....thanks

The tach connects just like any other tachometer out there. The mount however is a little different for the one I bought because it is a aviation mount. The tach face is the 80mm but it has a flange on the back for mounting with four screws. They do however make them in several different configurations.

This is the one I used in my '56.
