I'd forgotten what a monstrosity these tachs are!!! I love it! More 60's excess...Don't even think about commenting on the mess! I took the pic about 1 minute after I bolted it in for the first test fit.

If not, I'll pop this in the mail to you. It will save you about 2 hours of measure, measure, measure to make sure you have the holes in the right spot.

Sometimes money in the bank looks better than parts on the shelf if it's something you'll never use! Same reason I've done a bunch of selling off lately. There won't be enough room in my coffin for all of it. As morbid as that sounds, that's the reality of it.
But you're still a hoarder Roger!!!!

hey ken or carl , i have a grand prix wood plate from a tach car if you want a real car template found it in one of my boxs, carl the face plates are easy to change out, BUTTTTT the chrome suround has many tags that need to be bent and they are frigging fragile, i have a way to fix them if the worst happens.
I am planning to give the face plate a shot some evening soon. If a guy bends the tabs real lightly and rotates them around to that one notch, the plate seems to come off easier, one tab at a time through that cutout. I think this one only has one broken tab so it should be ok if I can keep it that way.
Is the GP dash for sale or you are keeping it for one of your cars?
