I just made these guage and switch panels out of 1/8" aluminum sheet I had laying around.

Looks good! Why no tach???

kruzr69 · 08-15-2004, 05:52 PM

I dont see a reason to run a tach. If I can hear the engine thats good enough for me.

They look great. How did you do the swirls??

I chucked the scotchbrite pad for my die grinder in my drill press and my friend made the designs.

I would put in a tach. You need it for a variety of reasons, if not for running, for diagnostics. Like those safety switch covers tho...
