hi,

jsut wondering where other MB owners have tachos and where they have mounted them. mine is a speco one and doesn't fit on the right hand side of the steering wheel on the dash. and it seems a bit out of place on the dash to the left of the steering wheel.

any ideas??

thanks

When I had an MB dash I mounted my 3.5" tacho from the 'A' pillar down near the dashboard. Now I have the Hatch dashboard there is plenty of space on the RHS of the steering wheel to mount one.

It's not at the right angle in those photos, it needs the angle fixing. :roll:
