I've put an rpm guage in place of my clock, but i hate to see my clock just sitting on the shelf. I'd like to mount it somewhere in the center of the dash but cant find a gauge pod large enough for It. I was just wondering if anyone has done this, or other interesting ideas. Pics would be sweeeeet.

I can't picture it fitting anywhere. If it's that important, I would buy a smaller tach, mount that under the dash or on the column, and put the clock back in it's factory spot.

If you have a working clock you could sell it and maybe get $150-200 for it. Then use that money on something cool like oil pressure and temperature gauges.
