Thanks...Can't wait to see pictures!

Re: My tach install thread
 

Here ya go...

Re: My tach install thread
 

Looks fantastic! Thanks for the pics!

Re: My tach install thread
 

Thanks. Kinda crude but it works quite well, I think. I'd love to have one like yours, Ride!

Working on a bracket for a 63 cluster

Re: My tach install thread
 

So here are a few more pics of the 63 bracket. Haven't worked out all the bugs yet. Only exception, I will have to have the original bracket off the customers cluster to machine the hole to fit the tach. Since the cluster bracket houses the fuel and the oil gauge, I'm not making a complete new bracket, just an addition bracket. unless someone knows cad and can come up with dimensions. Its a time consuming bracket, the 64-66 one i make is way easier.

Re: My tach install thread
 

I bought your tach bracket 9/2016, have yet to do anything with it but I am thinking about buying one of the the Bosch FST8050 units. After reading the recent posts, I am not clear if my bracket is compatible with the Bosch FST8050?

Re: My tach install thread
 

The FST 8050 is what it is designed for.

Re: My tach install thread
 

Okay thanks, just ordered the tachometer. Hopefully I can install both soon!

Re: My tach install thread
 

Just installed mine - easy install and looks/works great.

Re: My tach install thread
 

Picture?

Re: My tach install thread
 

Would like to replicate the other cluster connections for the tach connections, any idea where I can get these terminals?

Not sure if you can get them from here - http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/...jtz5p8b1U8Q%3d

Re: My tach install thread
 

Excellent, I spent hours looking and didn't find it! Do you have a link to the metal terminal post? Thanks for the help Rocknrod.

Re: My tach install thread
 

I am interested in the 63 bracket. Let me know if you can sell me one.

Re: My tach install thread
 

The 63 bracket is too cost prohibitive. It was too time consuming. It would be $200. And i have to have your cluster to do the modification. It really would only be for a performance application, because of the higher RPM sweep. The reproduction tach is a better option.

Re: My tach install thread
 

I understand your pricing, if you start making them let me know.

I'm sure you've looked at the other thread about making this Tach into a (V8) 6000 rmp tach by setting it to 4cyl and printing a new gauge face.

I have a 6cyl and I plan to set it as a 4cyl and see where it points, using a second tach to know where is at 1k rpm, 2k rpm ect. Then I hope to print a new gauge face. I will probably get it down to 7000 rpm tach.

The main thing I have learned here is the same tach fits both gauge clusters.
Thanks,
Ken

Re: My tach install thread
 

Ken Cook, have you messed with your Tach idea yet?

Im going to make more brackets.

Re: My tach install thread
 

I just got one done today. I am going to make all four and then ship them at one time.

Re: My tach install thread
 

No I haven't . I started to and couldn't bring myself to cut into it.
So are you doing the mod for the 1963 cluster now. Is that what you have pictured?

Re: My tach install thread
 

64-66 pictured. Not doing the 63, too cost prohibitive. Unless someone really really really wants one.

Re: My tach install thread
 

How about for a 62?

Re: My tach install thread
 

1960-63 would be the same.

Re: My tach install thread
 

Received my tach bracket today that rideblue00 manufactures and I must say what an impeccable quality product!

Thanks

Re: My tach install thread
 

I was just thinking the same thing. How much is this bracket going for??

Re: My tach install thread
 

They are $50 plus the shipping which is usually around $8

Re: My tach install thread
 

I'm good for that. It'll be Monday before I can do any money.
How do we get it done?
Shipping to

Re: My tach install thread
 

Ken i dont have any more made right now

Re: My tach install thread
 

Besides, you will have to go to my for sale thread. I usually like to get 4 people together before purchasing material.

Re: My tach install thread
 

I went to your for sale thread. I don't mind paying you now as long as you will eventually be making them.

Re: My tach install thread
 

Just keep an eye on this thread and maybe 3 others will want some

Re: My tach install thread
 

Hello...I would be interested for my 66 c10 when you get more made...please pm me when you do and I will paypal....Tim 940-521-1800

Re: My tach install thread
 

So that looks like 2. We need 1 more.

Re: My tach install thread
 

if you are interested, please make it known in my for sale thread only.

Re: My tach install thread
 

This is the link to the thread you need to post to.

Re: My tach install thread
 

So it has come to light that some people are cutting the chrome cup off the Bosch FST850 Tach. I dont recommend this. Tachometers can be delicate devices. I would hate to see someone have trouble and have to spend money on another tach. I designed my bracket to fit as comes out of the box.

Re: My tach install thread
 

Anyone have any pics to share of the installation of their bracket?

Re: My tach install thread
 

Here is mine...I decided not to cut open the tach and it fit nicely.
Jegs tach reads correctly with my hei dist....LMC stock tach did not....Tim

Re: My tach install thread
 

Hey 53,what vacuum gauge did you use and where did you get the silver gauge front panel? I love the look!! Let me know if you get chance. Thanks, Tony

Re: My tach install thread
 

Looking for a 63 gauge cluster that looks like this. Considering making a second bracket for the 60-63 years.
