I mounted my tach on the roll cage in a Autometer gauge pod.

My Autometer voltmeter has a rollbar mount pod . Checkout Jeg`s or Summit . Should work if you don`t mind mixing and matching .

thanks guys. I was looking at some rollbar mounts, and they seem pricey. I dont think a little bracket should be $35.00 or more. how much did you guys spend? Oh yeah the gauge is only 2-1/16 size. I bought it for the lite, but i like the digital tach for a backup of my original.

It is 2-1/16 pretty small. and summit wanted about the same.
i figured i could get one for like $10 since its so small.
I am wondering if i can make my own?
Find some old soup can.... might have to rinse it out LOL

One hose clamp around the gauge, one inside that clamp around the bar. adjust to suit, and tighten. Less than 5 bucks.
that is kinda what i was thinking.
i am afraid it will look tacky or hokey.

Well, for 40 bucks it will look better. I threw that out since you seemed to want to spend the money elsewhere.
If you have black padding or cage, you could paint the one clamp to make it blend in.

I agree. i guess i am trying to find a happy medium. 
i think i might have just found one for $16
i will probally go with that.
Thanks again everyone for your help.
