Thought I'd spin this off from my main build thread:
One of the bits I've found rather fascinating (and would like to add to my '68 Satellite) are the factory tachometers tacked into the non-Rallye dashes. Just the same, they're ridiculously expensive, used or otherwise.
I've already been through my dash once, and both my temp and fuel gauges are giving me issues (even with a solid state voltage limiter), and since I'm now obligated to pull it all out again, I'm toying with the idea to make that tach a reality...with an aftermarket gauge and some 3D printing:
Haven't really done much besides this. Cost for this faceplate looks like it'll be around $35 in acrylic plastic, but I also have to work in a nylon backing plate to hold whatever gauge I choose. Still cheaper than $199 for a repop though. Should be interesting...
