i didnt want to drill any holes in my dash and just flat dont care for the look of putting a gage in front of other gages or hanginh off steering column
that being said i took a peice of 1" wide flat stock bout 10" long or so
bent it like a candy cane the short side up mounted my 5"monster tach on it
long side is held to the bottom side of dash where the light bar is
has nice bend that fits close to the pad but never touches it
never have to look down at the tach
can easy be removed if need be ,no repaint the column,no covering up other gages
