Here’s a picture of a bracket I fabbed to house a pair of vacuum gauges.  The braket wraps completely around the steering column on my ’55 Customline which has to also work around the shift bar for the column shifter.  A similar bracket could be done for just a tachometer if wanting the tach spaced higher than simply off to the side.

Mark,

        It will fit at the top of the column. Mount it close to the steering wheel, over to the left side. I have a three speed column, and a tach in the red car.

Where to mount the tach depends on the size. You can get a small tach and use the preformed cover and mount it on the window frame. Get a larger one and mount it in the center of the dash and turn it  a bit to face you so it can be seen. Directly in front of you on the dash. I have removed the rear view mirror and mounted a tach upside down there before. Its hard to say. It all depends on how bad you want a tach and what size and how much you are willing to drill a hole or two to mount one.

well, I was all set to order a cool Moon Eyes steering column-mounted tach when it occured to me to do some measuring, and of course, I can't mount a tach on the column with my "three on the tree" set up...

so, if there are alternative sites to consider locating a tach in my 57 Fairlane, I would appreciate hearing about them...

any input would be appreciated.

thanks, Mark
