Some are mounted under the dash, on a pod off the steering column and in a cup above the radio.
Try searching the gallery.

I have MS, but I don't drive around like THAT all the time!
No sir only gauge I have is the speedo, and that's currently got a stripped cable spline so it's disconnected. _________________ Build thread: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=212747

Posting photos in my response has never worked for me, even following the Samba instructions to the letter. Here are two possibilities from my own Beetles:
[img]https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/189173.jpg[/img]
The tach is from a Porsche 914, which has the same diameter as the Beetle speedo. This method requires cutting out the factory speedo opening, relocating it to the left, and welding in a new speedo pod to the right from another car for the 914 tach.

Another 914 tach, this time in a RadioShack "project box" under the dash. Disadvantage is that it's out of your direct line of sight. |

3.3/4" mini monster tach
Mine mounts with a plate sandwiched under the mirror
Hers uses a plate that screws in under the the visor mount screws
it works well because it's always in your peripheral, and you can't see it from outside. _________________ http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/manuals/jim_martin_engine_build.php
