Could some one please tell me what goes in the spot to the right of the speedometer on a bay window bus. Was it a clock or a tachometer or what? What have you put in yours or is it still empty? Thank you for all replies.......

Clock.
I put a 3 3/8" VDO tachometer in my empty spot. |

It's the space for the optional clock.

This was before I went to 1) Dakota Digial gauges, 2) correctly adjusted the rear brakes/e-brake, and 3) put on my "leather skins" leather steering wheel cover.
I really am a "party animal". 
I really put in the tach as my wife is a "short shifter".
Buy this gizmo from bus boys if you do it.

Coca-Cola lids...what else?
Randy, I don't see how you can read the tach with all the screw caps that should be there.
I think you may have to relocate the tach. 
Actually I was thinking of putting an auxiliary set of warning lights in there. Maybe flashing lamps. The stock ones are too small, too dim, and too far below my normal line of sight.
I don't know how long my oil light was on last summer before I noticed it. Thankfully, it was just a bad sending unit.
